Abstract
Automatic Dependent Surveillance–Broadcast (ADS-B) systems is a recent aviation technology, which has established its standing in the domain of communication between aircrafts and has almost replaced the conventional radar system for transmission of messages. Various loopholes related to privacy and security has been found in ADS-B, by researchers such as message broadcast tampering. In this paper, we propose a methodology based on BATMAN algorithm, which secures the communication between aircrafts and ground stations. This framework for authentication is a novel network topology based on a decentralized blockchain. The authentication is done using a three-way handshake between On-Air Unit (OAU) and Ground Station (GS). The proposed technology involves a group formation of authenticated mobile nodes for communication using the distributed public ledger and further utilizing its security features. The impact of BATMAN algorithm is that it further secures AANET (Aircraft Ad-hoc Network) for ADS-B system.
