Ken Munro is presenting: A Hacker’s first Solo: the pitfalls of aviation connectivity

EFBs sit in a bit of a no mans land of certification, variously somewhere between ‘bring your own device’ and fully certified systems. Regulations vary around the world, leading to commercial pressure to deliver efficiency, optimisation and convenience, set against doing cyber security well.

These pressures have led to security mistakes in the past. some of which could affect safety, other affecting the ability to dispatch.. We will look at a number of security flaws in EFB packages, how they were handled and fixed by the manufacturers involved and what we can all learn for the future about the security of portable devices and apps.
