Aviation & Aerospace

Securing the skies for the quantum era. Quantum-resistant cryptography designed for 50-year aviation lifecycles with zero disruption to flight operations.

The Challenge

Aviation systems operate for 50+ years with safety certification cycles that take a decade. Aircraft communications use legacy protocols with no built-in encryption, making them vulnerable to spoofing and interception.

50-Year Lifecycles

Aircraft and air traffic systems remain in service for decades. Cryptography deployed today must withstand quantum attacks that emerge during this timeframe.

ADS-B Spoofing

ADS-B broadcasts aircraft position in plaintext with no authentication. Attackers can inject false aircraft positions, creating ghost aircraft that disrupt air traffic management.

Certification Complexity

Aviation safety certifications (DO-178C, DO-326A) take years and cost millions. Any changes to avionics software require full recertification.

Supported Protocols

Comprehensive coverage of aviation communication protocols from air-to-ground data links to avionics bus standards.
