A Limited Demonstration of ADS-B Security (Have Crypto)
Abstract
This report presents the results of project Have Crypto, A Limited Demonstration of ADS-B Security. The lead developmental test organization was the Air Force Test Center, Edwards AFB, California. The executing test organization was the Have Crypto TMP team, part of Class 19A at the USAF Test Pilot School, Edwards AFB. Testing was conducted from 17 to 19 September 2019 and comprised of six sorties totaling 7.9 hours. Testing utilized a T-38C equipped with a RASCAL pod configured as an ADS-B transmitter, two custom receiver sites located in the San Bernardino Mountains, and multiple commercial ADS-B receivers located in the Antelope Valley. Testing was conducted in and around the R-2508 complex at altitudes from 10,000 to 30,000 feet and airspeeds between 250 and 450 knots. The first general test objective, addressing ADS-B confidentiality, was to determine the performance of a connectionless packet-switched key handoff mechanism. The second general test objective was to observe integrity vulnerabilities inherent to ADS-B.
