The search and rescue operation is an increasingly important Internet of Things (IoT) application in which the resource-constrained things play the rescue role. Recently, more and more countries/organizations participate in a rescue task. To make the task more effective, they should share their information with each other but different countries have assorted sharing policies. Our investigation shows that access control systems for current search and rescue operations are either coarse-grained or computationally heavy. It cannot satisfy the rescue operations since those things demand lightweight cryptographic operations and the participating countries require flexible policies to protect their classified data. We propose a fine-grained access control system which is not only secure but also efficient. The practical experiments are conducted and its results demonstrate the lightweight cost in simulation.

“…Secure communication between air and ground end system (ES) is typically achieved by employing an establishing process consisting of the key establishing process and protection process of application messages [9,10,11]. Secure communication establishment is a process that requires heavy computations and many messages need to be sent between the aircraft and the ground communicating party.…”

Aero-wireless network is a wireless environment between aircraft stations and ground stations, or between aircraft stations. Secure communications in aero-wireless network are inherently unreliable and discontinuous resulting in frequent encrypted data losses/insertions. If an encrypted data is lost or inserted, a new secure connection can be setup without complex cryptographic computations. This work focuses on one important attention of aero-wireless network, namely, secure communication restart and how it works after encrypted data loss/insertion in communication channel. In this paper, we first present a secure communication restarting mechanism for an aero-wireless network. We then compare and analyze the processing time and bit error rate (BER) while restarting a secure communication using proposed mechanism. To our knowledge, this is the first proposal and comprehensive analysis of the secure communication restarting mechanism in aero-wireless networks. Our results can be used to design technique of efficient secure communication for aero-wireless networks.

We analyze the impact of new wireless technology threat models on cyber power, using the aviation context as an example. The ongoing move from traditional air traffic control systems such as radar and voice towards enhanced surveillance and communications systems using modern data networks causes a marked shift in the security of the aviation environment. Implemented through the European SESAR and the US American NextGen programs, several new air traffic control and communication protocols are currently being rolled out that have been in the works for decades. Unfortunately, during their development the shifting wireless technology threat models were not taken into account. As technology related to digital avionics is getting more widely accessible, traditional electronic warfare threat models are fast becoming obsolete. This paper defines a novel and realistic threat model based on the up-to-date capabilities of different types of threat agents and their impact on a digitalized aviation communication system. After analyzing how the changing technological environment impacts the security of aviation technologies, current and future, we discuss the reasons preventing the aviation industry from quickly improving the security of its wireless protocols. Among these reasons, we identify the existing tradition of the industry, the prevalence of legacy hard-and software, major cost pressures, slow development cycles, and a narrow focus on safety (as opposed to security). Finally, we analyze how this major technological shift informs the future of cyber power and conflict in the aviation environment by looking at tangible effects for state actors.
