Aircraft to Anything AdHoc Broadcasts and Session
Aircraft-to-anything (A2X) communications are often single broadcast
messages that to be trustable, need to be signed with expensive (in
cpu and payload size) asymmetric cryptography. There are also
frequent cases of extended exchanges between two devices where trust
can be maintained via a lower cost symmetric key protect flow.
This document shows both how to secure A2X broadcast messages with
DRIP Entity Tags (DET) and DRIP Endorsement objects and to leverage
these to create an AdHoc session key for just such a communication
flow.
There is also provision for DETs within X.509 certificates, encoded
in c509, as an alternative DET trust model.
