Air Traffic Control: Insecurity and ADS-B

Presented at DEF CON 17 (2009), Aug. 1, 2009, 11 a.m. (50 minutes).

This presentation will take a look at the Air Traffic Control (ATC) system from a pilot's view. I have found some interesting security problems with the ATC system. We will start the talk by explaining how the current ATC system works. Talk about an interesting attack vector that starts with going to a doctor to get a class 3 physical. We will talk about the future ATC system and how security may go from bad to worse. I want to open peoples eyes to the insecurity of the ATC system.
