Patent number: 11470045Abstract: A communication system for an aircraft comprises a communication interface with the outside of the aircraft and an avionics domain of which the security level is the highest of the communication system. It also comprises a communication domain to which is connected the communication interface and of which the security level is lower than the security level of the avionics domain. A barrier of a first type is arranged to filter the information coming from the communication interface so as to allow the information to pass into the communication domain only if the information corresponds to an authenticated communication. A barrier of a second type is arranged to filter information transmitted from the communication domain to the avionics domain, carrying out at least a syntactic filtering of the information.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2019Date of Patent: October 11, 2022Assignees: Airbus Operations SAS, Airbus Operations GmbHInventors: Bertrand Leconte, Pierre Attal, Olaf Bischof, Stephan Marwedel

Patent number: 10609029Abstract: A gateway having an architecture authorizing bidirectional communication between applications located in different domains and presenting a high assurance level of protection. The gateway interconnects a first and second domain. The gateway comprises an internal protocol, first and second protocol adapters hosted within the first and second domains and configured to make a conversion between application data formatted according to an applicative protocol relative to the two domains and gateway data formatted according to the gateway internal protocol, and a security module hosted on a separate platform to communicate with the first and second protocol adapters via first and second data links according to the gateway internal protocol.Type: GrantFiled: September 1, 2016Date of Patent: March 31, 2020Assignee: AIRBUS OPERATIONS SASInventors: Bertrand Leconte, Benoit Triquet, Cristina Simache

Patent number: 10462103Abstract: A gateway having an architecture authorizing a bidirectional communication between applications located in different domains and presenting a high assurance level of protection. The gateway uses a virtualization platform and comprises a set of functional blocs configured to authorize secure bidirectional flow of data along two different paths between first and second domains, said set of functional blocs being decomposed into a plurality of elementarily evaluable components each one of which having a specified function and being adapted to communicate with other predefined elementarily evaluable components.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2015Date of Patent: October 29, 2019Assignees: AIRBUS OPERATIONS SAS, AIRBUS DEFENCE AND SPACE GMBHInventors: Bertrand Leconte, Cristina Simache, Michael Paulitsch, Kevin Mueller

Patent number: 9747453Abstract: A virtualization platform that provides a systematic, transparent and local testing of components hosted by the virtualization platform in their integrated context. The virtualization platform comprises integrated interceptor modules connected to the components via communication channels, each interceptor module being interposed in the communication channel connecting two components, and an integrated analyzing device connected to the interceptor modules and comprising a control device and a testing device. The control device is configured to put each interceptor module in an operational mode selected out of a set of predetermined operational modes including a testing mode. The testing device is configured to locally test the components connected to the interceptor modules being put in the testing mode.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2015Date of Patent: August 29, 2017Assignees: AIRBUS OPERATIONS SAS, AIRBUS DEFENCE AND SPACE GMBHInventors: Bertrand Leconte, Cristina Simache, Michael Paulitsch, Kevin Mueller

Patent number: 8819775Abstract: In the method of accessing an information system of an aircraft the system receives an authenticator request from a connector of the aircraft; the system determines whether the connector presents a predetermined characteristic; and in the event that the system determines that the connector does indeed present the predetermined characteristic, the system sends an authenticator to the connector. Provision is also made for: the system receives an authenticator the system determines whether the authenticator is valid; and in the event that the system determines that the authenticator is indeed valid, the system authorizes access to the system from a connector of the aircraft from which the authenticator was sent.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2010Date of Patent: August 26, 2014Assignee: Airbus OperationsInventors: Bertrand Leconte, Romain Pochet
