Aircraft are complex systems that rely heavily on monitoring and real-time communications with the base station. During aviation and flight operations, diverse data are gathered from different sources, including the Cockpit Voice Recorder (CVR), Flight Data Recorder (FDR), logbook, passenger data, passenger manifest etc. Given the high sensitivity of flight data, it is an attractive target for adversaries which could result in operational, financial and safety related incidents. Communications between aircraft pilots and air traffic controllers are all unencrypted. The data, mainly audio communication files, are placed openly within data centers on the ground stations which could lead to a serious compromise in security and privacy. One may rely on the cloud owing to its on-demand features but to thwart possible attacks, the data need to be encrypted first, giving rise to the issue of conducting search over encrypted data. This research presents a novel approach for data security in aviation industry by introducing a semantic-based searchable encryption scheme over the cloud. The designed system has proven to be extraordinarily effective for semantic-based searchable encryption at the word and the text level. The rigorous security and complexity analysis shows that the proposed solution provides a high level of security and efficiency and can be effectively deployed in the aviation sector. The designed scheme is tested through a real-world aviation dataset collected to demonstrate the significance of this research. The proof of concept proves to be secure, privacy-preserving and lightweight while resisting distinguishability attacks. |
