Embodiment Construction

[0008] figure 1 is a side cross-sectional view of an aircraft 100 according to an embodiment of the invention. Aircraft 100 includes a cockpit 102 from which aircraft 100 is operated and controlled. Cockpit 102 is a secure access area onboard aircraft 100 . For example, an access procedure is required before access to the cockpit 102 is permitted. The cockpit 102 includes an input device 104 . Aircraft 100 also includes an electronics bay 106 onboard aircraft 100 , which is a secure access area onboard aircraft 100 . The electronic pod 106 also includes an input device 108 .

[0009] Aircraft 100 includes a computer network, such as aircraft data network (ADN) 100 . In an exemplary embodiment, AND 110 includes four domains with different levels of security access requests. AND 110 includes aircraft control domain 112 , airline information services domain 114 , passenger information and entertainment services domain 116 , and passenger-owned equipment domain 118 . Aircra...

Abstract

Methods and systems for establishing a secure access to a proprietary network (110) is provided. The method includes establishing a communication link between a first device (120) and the proprietary network using a first level of secure access to the network, requesting an access code by the first device. The method further includes generating an access code by the proprietary network in response to the request, receiving the access code by the first device, and entering the access code into a second device (104,108) communicatively coupled to the proprietary network, wherein the second device is positioned in a secure location physically accessible only to an authorized user. The method also includes comparing the entered access code to the generated access code by the proprietary network, and enabling a second level of secure access between the first device and the proprietary network.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates generally to computer networks and, more particularly, to methods and systems for protecting computer networks from unauthorized access. Background technique [0002] At least some known computer networks incorporate functionality to limit access by unauthorized users. Typically, access is restricted by requiring entry of a predetermined code at a prompt unique enough to a particular user, which is sufficient to ensure access by anyone other than that particular user. However, a user is generally allowed to access the network regardless of the access point used to authenticate the user. For example, an enterprise network allows users to log in from any computer or workstation communicatively coupled to the network. An enterprise network that includes the Internet as an access point basically allows users to be anywhere in the world while logging on to the enterprise network. Access to the corporate network can also be c...
