Performance-Optimizing Secure GBAS over LDACS

VHF Data Broadcast (VDB) currently used by GBAS has been identified as a potential source of cyber-security concerns. The use of an alternative datalink providing the bandwidth for more capable security protocols has therefore been proposed and …

Cybersecurity for the L-band Digital Aeronautical Communications System (LDACS)

Today's analog voice-based air–ground communication system for tactical aircraft guidance is suffering from the VHF band's increasing saturation in high-density areas. The air–ground communication infrastructure is therefore undergoing digitisation …

Comparing Different Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange Flavors for LDACS

Growth of civil air traffic worldwide poses a great challenge for the supporting Communication, Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) infrastructure. Analogue systems have to be replaced by digital means to optimize spectrum efficiency and automation is …

Evaluation of the LDACS Cybersecurity Implementation

Communication, Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) infrastructure in civil aviation must evolve as fast as possible to cope with all challenges posed by the growth of the worldwide population, globalization and the worldwide demand for more and more …

Towards Successful Realization of the LDACS Cybersecurity Architecture: An Updated Datalink Security Threat- And Risk Analysis

Currently Communication Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) in civil aviation are undergoing huge changes in the framework of the European SESAR and the US NextGEN research initiatives. One goal is to develop the Future Communication Infrastructure …

A Cybersecurity Architecture for the L-band Digital Aeronautical Communications System (LDACS)

With air transportation growing and current civil aeronautical communication systems reaching their capacity limit in high density areas, the need for new aeronautical communication technologies becomes apparent. The biggest challenge in recent years …

Transmitting GBAS messages via LDACS

The Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS) is a landing system for aircraft based on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). It consists of a reference station at an airport that generates corrections and integrity parameters that are …

Paving the way for an it security architecture for LDACS: A datalink security threat and risk analysis

With air transportation growing and current civil aeronautical communication systems reaching their capacity limit in high density areas, the need for new aeronautical communication technologies becomes apparent. This implies the transition from …
