FAA Outlines Concerns With Airborne Network Security
AC highlights a specific concern with aircraft using Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)/Internet Protocol (IP) connectivity instead of other means.

The FAA has issued a draft Advisory Circular outlining a method for developing an Aircraft Network Security Program (ANSP) to meet requirements for security of data systems on new and modified aircraft and those considered “e-enabled.” This refers, the FAA notes, “to an aircraft with wireless communication technology that exchanges information with various critical and non-critical aircraft systems as well as outside systems.”
