Secure Ground-Based Remote Recording and Archiving of Aircraft "Black Box" Data
Abstract
Aircraft accident investigation centers upon the analysis at all available information about the accident flight in the period leading up to the final catastrophe. Key among the sources at information is date captured and recorded in the flight data recorder and cockpit voice recorder, which are often referred to as the aircraft black boxes". Par some accidents, this flight data may he lest entirely or partially damaged and largely unusable. The aircraft flight data recorders are the only place where flight data is recorded. This single recording paint is a vulnerability to the availability at flight data that can be addressed by creating another place where the data is stored. This thesis examines the feasibility at and discusses the technical framework necessary tar a system that transmits flight data tram an aircraft to a ground recording station. The focus will be upon the requirements tar security and assurance at the information flow, so that the confidentiality, integrity, availability and authenticity at the data are ensured.
