Security and Threats in Aviation: Cryptographic Based Network Security System

In present era, aviation communication technologies provides safe, effective, and efficient transfer of data between aircraft and facilities on the ground. Cryptography is essential to maintain the confidentiality, integrity, and legitimacy of data transfer in aviation systems. The safe key exchange and authentication that are essential components of aviation communication security are expertly ensured algorithms. Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), Rivest- Shamir- Adleman (RSA), Blowfish, Fernet, and Elliptic curve cryptog- raphy (ECC) are a few of the symmetric and asymmetric encryption method explored for aviation system. In this paper, the development and application of AES and Fernet encryption algorithms, specifically designed for safe client- server communication for the aviation industry sector, are the mainly implemented and performance analyzed. The public key is used for encryption, while the private key is used for decryption. The effectiveness of these algorithms in safeguarding data transfer between a client and server within an airline network is put to the test with great rigor.
