Abstract [en]
Newly implemented technologies within the aviation lack, according to recent studies, built in security measures to protect them against outside interference. In this thesis we study the security and privacy status of the digital wireless Controller Pilot Data Link Communication (CPDLC) used in air traffic management alongside other systems to increase the safety and traffic capacity of controlled airspaces. The findings show that CPDCL is currently insecure and exposed to attacks. Any solutions to remedy this must adhere to its low levels of performance. Elliptical Curve Cryptography, Protected ACARS and Host Identity Protocol have been identified as valid solutions to the systems security drawbacks and all three are possible to implement in the present state of CPDLC.
