SECURITY OF ON-BOARD NETWORK IN AVIONICSNAME OF THE STUDENT:NAME OF THE UNIVERSITY:
INTRODUCTION•Although the use of wireless networks are generally not allowed inside aeroplanes, there are some airline companies that provide WiFi services so that the passengers can connect to the internet without having to use cellular connection.•On-board WiFi network is also used by fighter jets and other defence flights in order to contact with the base regarding position of attack or enemy location.•However, it has been seen that these on-board WiFi connections can be compromised even from a remote location if there is no sufficient network security measures are taken.
CYBER SECURITY ISSUE IN AVIONICS•Due to the considerable development of wireless technology in the last few years, flight passengers are now able to access the internet while travelling in the aeroplanes (Mink et al., 2016).•The primary precautions taken by the network providers for on-board use includes use of unique profile with passwords, network firewalls, software certification and others.•The on-board networks used for defence purposes are further secured using strong firewalls and external traffic jammer.•In spite of these precautions, recent cases suggest that the on-board networks are vulnerable to cyber security issues (Xu et al., 2018).•In the last few years, there have been numerous cases of on-board network security compromise most of which have been executed from a remote location.
