Securing data is a concern for everyone in a world where activists, criminals, and state actors persistently seek to cause disruption or steal information for ideological, financial, technological, or military gains.
Notable attacks, such as the National Public Data, LinkedIn, Marriott International, and Facebook breaches, have highlighted how everyone is at risk, including private citizens, commercial and government organizations, and military assets.
The best policy for protecting data requires a comprehensive strategy that includes site security, data access, and data encryption plans. This paper focuses on one aspect of data encryption: encrypting telemetry data for aerospace applications, such as flight tests.
Sensitive data collected, stored, or transmitted on a platform can be exposed to risks while in motion and at rest, requiring protection in both states. To this end, encryption is vital to maintaining the data’s integrity throughout its intended course. Multiple standards-compliant systems that ensure the security of sensitive and classified data are available in layered encryption of hardware, software, or a mix of both for system integrators to choose from.
