USE OF DATA LINKS FOR AERONAUTICAL PURPOSES WITHOUT COMPROMISING SAFETY AND SECURITY

摘要

A method of ensuring secure and cost effective communication of aeronautical data to and from an aircraft is provided. The method includes uplinking air-ground aircraft data communications via an aeronautical safety data link and downlinking air-grou nd aircraft data communications via a consumer data link separated from the aeronautical safe ty data link by a one-way firewall.
