Martin Strohmeier
We have built and grown a large and unique aircraft security lab [1], which has been used for numerous projects at the CYD Campus, including the analysis of the security of GNSS, ADS-B, Mode S, TCAS, CPDLC, ARINC-429, multilateration and more. Practical projects in this direction are often available. At least partially, testing and development must be conducted in the laboratory in Thun (1-2 days a week).
Currently, we are looking for students to work on the following research tasks:
The security of electronic flight bags (Bluetooth, WiFi, App Security). This is a BSc thesis or a semester project
The security of autopilot systems (reaction to GNSS attacks, impact of attacks on other avenues such as ARINC-429, TCAS or ADS-B). This project can be done at all levels (BSc, MSc).
For more detailed information, please contact us.
