Abstract: An aircraft-based inflight entertainment (IFE) security processing system is configured to receive log event streams from components of an IFE system and/or connected to the IFE system. The IFE security processing system aggregates content of the log event streams based on a level of aggregation set by aggregation commands received from a ground-based cybersecurity operations center to generate an aggregated log file, and communicates the aggregated log file through a satellite communication pathway to the ground-based cybersecurity operations center. Related ground-based cybersecurity operations centers are disclosed. Corresponding operations by cybersecurity operations centers are disclosed.

Abstract: An entertainment system to perform operations to securely pair and communicate with a user device based on multiple security controls. The operations include: Responsive to a request to pair the user device to a network interface, generating an encrypted code that includes network credentials for connecting to the network interface and a time-limited authentication credential that is unique to the user device. Responsive to a request to connect to a server of the entertainment system, generating a connection authorization decision for the user device based on two factor authentication validating (i) a second certificate of the user device, and (ii) the time-limited authentication credential that is unique to the user device. The entertainment system connects the user device to the server for secure communications when the connection authorization decision authorizes the connection based on successful two-factor authentication.

Abstract: An entertainment system includes a memory connected to a processor and storing program code that executed by the processor to perform operations to securely pair and communicate with a user device based on multiple security controls. The operations include receiving a request to pair the user device to a network interface of the entertainment system. Responsive to the request to pair, generating an encrypted code. The encrypted code includes network credentials for connecting to the network interface and a time-limited authentication application for connecting to the server. The encrypted code is communicated to the user device to decrypt. The user device is connected through the network interface based on the user device presenting the network credentials from the decrypted code. The entertainment system includes server having a first certificate that is digitally signed.
