Description

The main objective of the project, led by EUROCONTROL, is to develop and deploy a common framework for both integrating local Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) deployments in an interoperable manner as well as providing interoperable digital certificates to the users of System Wide Information Management (SWIM). The implementation of components addressing the PKI and Cybersecurity governance is pivotal for developing the necessary common security requirements and to guarantee a common secure SWIM implementation.

The project aims at improving the security of the exchange of information which should reduce the likelihood to get some disruption of services mainly due to corruption of information. Facilitating and accelerating the provision and use of both the SWIM services by providing a solution that increases the security of the services and the use of certificates to secure the exchange of information other than SWIM services.

The resulting PKI and its associated trust framework, which will be part of the cyber security infrastructure of ATM systems, are required to sign, emit and maintain digital certificates and revocation lists as required by the regulation. The digital certificates will allow user authentication and encryption/decryption when and where needed in order to ensure that information can be securely transferred. All aviation stakeholders (ANSPs, Airspace Users, Military, Airport operators, etc) will benefit from the project.

It has to be noted that the common SWIM infrastructure components and PKI need to be implemented in parallel to NewPENS (IP 2015_174_AF5). Effective coordination is therefore necessary between all stakeholders to implement the common components starting with the agreed SWIM Governance (deployed under the IP 2016_141_AF5).
