A Systematic Security Testing Approach for InterUSS-based environments
The paper proposes a systematic security testing approach, documented in a Testing Guide, for InterUSS-based Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) federated ecosystems to address unaddressed infrastructure-level security challenges.
Abstract
More Like ThisUnmanned Traffic Management (UTM) federated ecosystems, such as InterUSS, enable secure coordination among UAS Service Suppliers (USSs). However, they bring up some security challenges at the infrastructure level that haven't been fully explored. This paper presents a security testing approach for InterUSS-based environments from the maintainer's perspective. By deploying and analyzing a working InterUSS infrastructure, we pinpoint key components and develop specific security tests aligned with established standards and protocols, such as mTLS and OAuth 2.0. We compiled these tests into a Testing Guide that aids both component validation and interaction analysis across InterUSS-based ecosystems, filling a gap in current research.
