Module 7 - Assignment: 787 Network Security Presentation
This assignment requires you to use presentation tools and allows you to be creative.
The presentation subject is to be network security on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. To
begin, get familiar with the topic by reading over the articles. Then create an original
presentation using PowerPoint to address the questions below.
The Boeing 787 is a fantastic aircraft with versions capable of seating up to 300
passengers with a range of up to 8,200 nautical miles. This aircraft is full of
technology including a composite material skin, a fiber optic data bus for networking,
and a high tech in-flight entertainment system (IFE). During the certification process
the FAA issued a special condition that required Boeing to prove the aircraft’s
common network was secure against hacker intrusion. Some industry analysts have
pointed out that the only reason for this special condition is because the technology
used on the aircraft are beyond definitions and concepts contained within current
certification rules.

Questions the presentation must address:

3. ● What benefits are derived from the using a common network for all onboard
systems? That is, what motivated adoption of the common core fiber optic
network?
● Detail and explain the security aspect in full. When doing so address both
sides of the story: the concern about hackers and the counterargument(s)
which state the aircraft is secure.
