POSTER: Detecting False-Data Injection Attacks on Air Traffic Control Protocols

The world’s airspaces are becoming increasingly crowded as manned and unmanned aircraft must coexist in the future. To handle this growth, new and more efficient protocols are being rolled out in most countries. Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) is one of the core pieces of next generation air traffic management. Several publications in the academic and hacker community have highlighted the vulnerabilities of ADS-B and consequently the need for improved security. We analyze means to detect such attacks and propose a transparent intrusion detection system.
