Analyzing Airplane System and Security Logs for Context Awareness

Modern e-Enabled Airplanes and Ground Support systems and their associated sub-systems produce high volumes of log data. How can Boeing better automate and conduct data extraction relating to a sequence events, and automate identification and add context to the analysis of anomalous cyber events in operator airplane log files? Project outcomes this student team worked toward include: • Concept of operations and initial systems description • Trade study plan to iterate to best configuration • Development of Context Aware prototype to enhance Airplane Security Log File event profiles and analysis. Interim deliverables this student team worked toward include: • Bi-weekly meetings on progress and lessons learned • Preliminary Design Review material Final Deliverables • Final technical report which shall present the design of the Context Aware system clearly and concisely; it shall cover all relevant aspects, features, and disciplines. Pertinent analyses and studies supporting design choices shall be documented.
