Deployment: Swim Common PKI and Policies & Procedures for Establishing a Trust Framework

The project aims at developing and deploying a common framework for both integrating local PKI (Public Key Infrastructure for X.509 digital certificates) deployments in an interoperable manner as well as providing interoperable digital certificates to the users of SWIM. The resulting PKI and its associated trust framework, which will be part of the cyber security infrastructure of aviation systems, are required to sign, emit and maintain digital certificates and revocation lists as required in the PCP (Pilot Common Project) family 5.1.4. The digital certificates will allow user authentication and encryption/decryption when and where needed in order to ensure that information can be securely transferred. All aviation Stakeholders (ANSPs, Airspace users, MIL, Airport, etc ...) will benefit from the project.
