The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) has pushed for further guidelines and regulations to ensure security in Avionics Systems. The report indicates potential cyber risks such as data spoofing, outdated systems, long update cycles, and software vulnerabilities. Researches have also highlighted the vulnerabilities to in-flight connectivity systems including the usage of cheap equipment to eavesdrop on satellite signals that may expose in-flight passenger data. wolfSSL is the leader in Cybersecurity for Avionics Systems and can be applied to mitigate risks and vulnerabilities that come with these breaches. See how wolfSSL can be used in your Avionics applications today!

The sensor network sub-specification of MQTT does not designate a method for securing the communication between the clients and the gateway. We here at wolfSSL think that is unacceptable! Using the DTLS library of wolfSSL, we would like to protect the sensor data all the way from the client to the gateway, and then from the gateway on to the broker using standard TLS (also from wolfSSL).

wolfSSL and Microchip are excited to announce our partner webinar: Using WolfSSL and Pre-Configured TrustFLEX ATECC608 Secure Element for TLS Networks co-presented by wolfSSL engineer David Garske and Microchip’s Xavier Bignalet.

Webinar Information 

Date: Wednesday, October 21, 2020

Time: 8:00–8:30 a.m. PDT

Register Here: https://events.microchip.com/shieldsupsession24

 

Learn how to implement mutual authentication using X509 certificates with the WolfSSL TLS stack and the TrustFLEX ATECC608 secure element from Microchip’s Trust Platform. We will discuss TLS concepts in the first half of the webinar, and then an expert from WolfSSL will give a hands-on demonstration featuring a SAM D21 Arm® Cortex®-M0+ based microcontroller and a WINC1500 Wi-Fi® module to show how easy it is to get started with mutual authentication.

Get pumped for our partner webinar with DDC-I! Introducing “Out-of-the-Box Security for Avionics Systems” co-presented by wolfSSL Engineer, Tesfa Mael and Technical Marketing Manager at DDC-I, Gary Gilliland.  

Modern avionics systems often need to ensure that they are not only safe per DO-178C processes but also that cyber security is addressed. This presentation will outline the architectural elements needed to create such systems and present off-the-shelf products that system developers can readily leverage.

To create a secure product, the system threats must be determined based on how the system is exposed. Once that is determined, requirements can be defined to mitigate those threats. The results of this analysis at a minimum will typically require that the system is required to boot securely. Secure boot basically means that you can guarantee that the software installed on the system has not been tampered with. Also, a secure boot environment implies that any future updates to the software can be installed in a trusted manner.

Once the system is securely booted the RTOS needs to provide a safe and secure foundation for running applications at different design assurance levels and keeping the data separated.

This webinar will explain how the Deos RTOS is a key foundational element for safe and secure system design and how the integration of Deos and wolfCrypt is a very attractive solution for avionics developers who require a secure, out-of-the-box, safety-critical solution that comes complete with DAL A evidence.
