16. Abstract<br />
This report presents the results of the Federal Aviation Adm<strong>in</strong>istration (<strong>FAA</strong>) local area network (LAN) research effort<br />
address<strong>in</strong>g potential safety impacts <strong>in</strong>troduced by <strong>LANs</strong> <strong>in</strong> aircraft. Interconnect<strong>in</strong>g previously isolated components on aircraft<br />
<strong>in</strong>creases the complexity of un<strong>in</strong>tended <strong>in</strong>teractions between components and provides potential new access po<strong>in</strong>ts that could be<br />
exploited to cause harm. This report addresses the potential security vulnerabilities <strong>in</strong>troduced by network<strong>in</strong>g <strong>LANs</strong>, the safety<br />
affects of security failures, and a process for design<strong>in</strong>g and certify<strong>in</strong>g <strong>LANs</strong> on aircraft to ensure the safety of these new aircraft<br />
systems.<br />
This report extends the current <strong>FAA</strong> safety assurance processes <strong>in</strong>to airborne networked environments by leverag<strong>in</strong>g the Biba<br />
Integrity Model. It builds upon exist<strong>in</strong>g <strong>FAA</strong> studies that articulate mechanisms to <strong>in</strong>tegrate RTCA/DO-178B and common<br />
criteria processes for the National Airspace System. This approach creates a safety-oriented airborne networked architecture that<br />
is built upon exist<strong>in</strong>g DO-178B and Aerospace Recommended Practice 4754 safety mechanisms. This produces results that are a<br />
direct analog to exist<strong>in</strong>g U.S. Department of Defense policies and processes.<br />
