This work reports the human factors-related validation results of a security system for protection linked critical infrastructures (CIs) against combined cyber-physical attacks. Attacks any kind on CIs have increased in number and complexity. In order to prevent or mitigate interruption services public, is high importance. As an evolution recent research single CIs, EU H2020 project PRAETORIAN adopted holistic management approach that addressed with one overarching toolset.The toolset...
This paper introduces to security management that is conducted at infrastructure installations and their corresponding technical assets. Malicious activities those infrastructures lead a loss of service provision or can even introduce cascading effects towards other connected infrastructures. If an satisfies significant societal need, it considered critical infrastructure. The cause secondary the infrastructures, such as airports. Airport operations are central long-distance mobility small...
View Video Presentation: https://doi.org/10.2514/6.2021-3199.vid HorizonUAM is a DLR project to research the vision of urban air mobility. One important topic safety and security aspect. This paper discusses considerations in areas of: safe autonomy, reliable multisensor navigation, robust efficient communication, U-space traffic, finally cyber-physical security. As basis for future discussion, challenges gaps are identified, furthermore context briefly outlined. From perspective, missing...
Contradictory to communication safety in the aviation field security has received relatively little attention date, although threats regarding air traffic have been rapidly increasing recent years. Within project GAMMA (Global ATM Security Management) German Aerospace Center (DLR) is developing a prototype support controllers (ATCO) detecting intrusions into ground voice system and therefore allow subsequent mitigating actions be conducted.
A frequently used procedure to examine the relationship between categorical and dimensional descriptions of emotions is ask subjects place verbal expressions representing in a continuous multidimensional emotional space. This work chooses different approach. It aims at creating system predicting values Activation Valence (AV) directly from sound speech utterances without use its semantic content or any other additional information. The uses X-vectors represent characteristics utterance...
Following the permanent upscaling of number unmanned air vehicles applying to enter airspace, need for re-structuring flow traffic gets more and important. Multitudes research groups around world are proposing comparable, yet in detail slightly differing approaches establish urban mobility future. The future will utilize all kinds ever-emerging new technologies while posing be connected legacy systems present aviation. This is on other hand a door opener invitation malicious subjects invent...

Air transportation represents a complex network of stakeholders that include air navigation service providers (ANSPs), airport operation centers, airlines, manufacturers, government and security agencies, airspace policy authorities, passengers, etc. The management in this federated multistakeholder environment faces legal, institutional, technical challenges. current state aviation is outlined by the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization) Annex 17 Chicago Convention was adopted...
This paper addresses the full lifecycle of security countermeasures identified in Security Risk Analysis future Air Traffic Management System (ATM). The process establishes new functions GAMMA project [1] and their implementations order to ensure acceptable levels for ATM. In this project, ATM is addressed by focusing on two dimensions defined Single European Sky Research [2]: establishing a collaborative support capability defining framework embracing three-levels (i.e. European, National,...
Since years it is known that radio communication used by ATC can easily be intruded and therefore subject to recurrent attacks. Nevertheless the voice between pilots air traffic controllers still most flexible efficient medium especially in a busy environment, non-standard situations or simply when exchanging air-ground messages plain language needed. As vulnerability seems not dominant compared number of crucial damages, basic important method within aeronautical mobile service. This...
When it comes to securing critical infrastructures, is evident not only provide a toolbox which allows detect when vulnerabilities are exploited but also support the operations in performing mitigation procedures. This paper explains how validation was conducted Horizon 2020 project PRAETORIAN evaluate operational feasibility of system observes and manages security within interconnected infrastructures. To this end, concept-based approach involving presentation scenarios with help narrations...
Security in air traffic management is still a rather new challenge and receives increased interest during recent years. This implies that security concepts systems are developed. Usually all have to go through several validation cycles reach higher technical readiness level. As no well-established approach available which considers the special aspects of this forms an additional barrier when developing control systems. true because suitable approaches be developed first. The latter includes...
The continuous development and integration of new technologies in the aviation industry has increased pool active systems use, thus, attack surface. aircraft, as one central element aviation, have followed same trend. To accommodate current future needs onboard avionics intercommunication, standard Avionics Full-Duplex Switched Ethernet been created implemented several aircraft recent decades. While this suggests security measures for networks, there may exist potent threat actors which can...
It is quite easy to set up validation trials and measure the benefits of one prototype by using well-established techniques. But things are getting worse if more than new system involved in evaluation make it even complicated systems geo-distributed over different partners' sites. How cope with amount possible combinations several security prototypes developed a European aviation research project? And how prepare, setup perform needed trials? These questions will be answered paper also...
With SESAR and NextGen readying towards implementing novel operational concepts technical enablers in ATM/CNS, the question of how to manage security a dynamic environment across highly distributed networked system gains higher attention. The Global ATM Security Management project (GAMMA) addresses development such situation management capability. Following September 11 attacks major large-scale outages critical infrastructures, air navigation has emerged as capability gap. On-going...
The insights presented in this article are outcomes of a security research project that was initiated to collate and interpret the latest findings gathered domain air traffic management security. concept holistic approach has been evaluated. Due large scope project, only an excerpt is provided article. This focuses on brief description prototype validation methodology, developed within project. To provide tangible application adoption developed, which intended enhance control voice...
