“…The Security in the Air (SAT) scheme is completely based on TESLA [18] ] and has been inspired by the idea suggested in [17]. Here, the aircraft broadcasts every 30 seconds its certificate, public key and signed part of the key chain which is actually in use.…”

“…There are several shortcomings with the currently proposed cryptographic schemes. First, all of the proposed schemes in literature [13]- [15], [18]- [20], [22], [23] require a secure channel before each take-off between the aircraft and the trusted third party (TTP) in order to preload personal security material to be used during the flight. The presence of a secure channel is not always evident and can cause delay in case the TTP gets offline, especially, as several small airports only have radios as a communication equipment.…”

“…Second, most of the schemes [15], [18], [20], [22], [23] do not take into account the strict requirements regarding message size, available bandwidth or hardware, and are thus not compliant with the standard with respect to packet format and size of the message.. Moreover, some of the schemes require too high overhead [22], [23].…”

“…Third, most of the schemes propose a solution for authentication [13]- [15], [18]- [20], [23] and only one scheme for encryption [22]. None of the approaches deals with a holistic solution, addressing the possibility to offer in the same framework one of the two options or to combine both.…”

Holistic Air Protection Scheme of ADS-B Communication

The avionics world is making the transition in the coming years to the automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) communication in order to determine parameters like for instance position and velocity of the aircraft in the air. The standard does not currently include any kind of authentication or encryption in the transmitted messages and is therefore vulnerable against different types of attacks. In this paper, a system, called holistic air protection (HAP), is proposed, which is able to provide different levels of security by offering authentication of the payload with potential encryption of identifier and/or payload of the message. As a consequence, a holistic solution is obtained, which can be applied by both commercial and military aircraft or in case of a security attack. HAP relies on implicit certificates and a generalized elliptic curve-based signcryption scheme. The resulting overhead due to the cryptographic operations is in the same range as the timed efficient stream loss-tolerant authentication (TESLA)-based proposed security schemes, considering the same security strength. Moreover, HAP is also able to obtain faster authentication and a thus faster guarantee of a verified update.

“…Concerning the channel throughput and the jamming mitigation, the authors proposed many solutions in the past, exploiting frequency super-resolution or source separations techniques [11][12][13][14]. Many other security aspects were evaluated in other works [15][16][17][18][19], and some works propose the introduction of an authentication scheme in the Mode S protocol [20][21][22]. These latter proposals need a deep modification of the Mode S protocol that can have a big impact on the channel throughput for the transmission of authentication information.…”

Nowadays, aircraft safety is based on different systems and four of them share the same data-link protocol: Secondary Surveillance Radar, Automatic Dependent Surveillance System, Traffic Collision Avoidance System, and Traffic Information System use the Mode S protocol to send and receive information. This protocol does not provide any kind of authentication, making some of these applications vulnerable to cyberattacks. In this paper, an intrusion detection mechanism based on transmitter Radio Frequency (RF) fingerprinting is proposed to distinguish between legitimate messages and fake ones. The proposed transmitter signature is described and an intrusion detection algorithm is developed and evaluated in case of different intrusion configurations, also with the use of real recorded data. The results show that it is possible to detect the presence of fake messages with a high probability of detection and very low probability of false alarm.

Automatic Dependent Surveillance -Broadcast (ADS-B) is the next generation communication technology selected for allowing commercial and military aircraft to deliver flight information to both ground base stations and other airplanes. Today, it is already on-board of 80% of commercial aircraft, and it will become mandatory by the 2020 in the US and the EU. ADS-B has been designed without any security consideration -messages are delivered wirelessly in clear text and they are not authenticated. In this paper we propose Securing Open Skies (SOS), a lightweight and standard-compliant framework for securing ADS-B technology wireless communications. SOS leverages the well-known µTESLA protocol, and includes some modifications necessary to deal with the severe bandwidth constraints of the ADS-B communication technology. In addition, SOS is resilient against message injection attacks, by recurring to majority voting techniques applied on central community servers. Overall, SOS emerges as a lightweight security solution, with a limited bandwidth overhead, that does not require any modification to the hardware already deployed. Further, SOS is standard compliant and able to reject active adversaries aiming at disrupting the correct functioning of the communication system. Finally, comparisons against state-of-the-art solutions do show the superior quality and viability of our solution.
