KSAT subcommittee launched development of a new Connected Application Server (CAS) standard following recent approval at the general session. The CAS will support modem-outside antenna configurations and provide generic computing capabilities for multiple aircraft applications. Document number candidates 787 or 790 were proposed, with use cases spanning KSAT, EFB, IFE, and standalone applications.

Reflecting on Cybersecurity from 2015 to today
I spoke to the APEX Technical Committee back in 2015 on Aviation Cybersecurity. What happened in the last 11 years? ARINC 848 Media Independent Secure Offboard Network (MISON) was published. ATN/IPS emerged as the sanctioned ACARS-over-IP protocol. VLAN ID has proliferated as a the preferred method for network slicing. Aviation-ISAC has remained the focal point for cybersecurity tactical coordination. Sadly, OpenSSID remains the standard for IFC Wi-Fi, with very good alternatives still on the bench. Occasional hiccups persist with EFB software, and its influence to aviation safety remains blurred on the edge.

Presented to the Performance-based Aviation Rulemaking Committee - Connectivity Working Group meeting #55 (PARC-CWG55). Thanks to Trey Turner (Southwest Airlines) and Kevin Kelley (FAA) for leading the three-day session. Also to L2 Aviation, especially Mark Lebovitz and Jim Nuse, for sponsoring the meeting at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport.
