Title
Improving Data Security in Message Communication between ACT and Aircraft using Private Blockchain
Abstract
Security and privacy remain a major challenge for data communication between an Air Controller Tower (ACT) and Flight mainly due to the immense scale of data transfer and distributed nature of this Internet of Things (IoT) network. Blockchain and its related approaches provide decentralized security and privacy, however yet they involve significant energy, delay, and computational overhead. The aforementioned costs are not feasible for most resource-constrained IoT devices. The proposed security models of this paper acknowledged these drawbacks by circumventing the computational resource-intensive Proof of Work (PoW) concepts. The models consist of three main components: Customized Digital Certificate (CC), Validator (Smart Contract), and Storage (Blockchain Network). A set of new algorithms are proposed to outline various phases during communication and embedding message security. The proposed models are evaluated in a simulated environment for secure data communication between Flights and ACTs. Each ACT and Flight need to be equipped with IoT devices and Validator (SC) that can send and receive validated messages and stored in the Blockchain network at both ends. This paper explores the communication realm and outlines Cryptography and Blockchain-based approaches. Extensive empirical work has been done to demonstrate that the proposed models are viable with respect to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The presented models can be further utilized for tracing of message exchange for integrity and non-repudiation.
