In 2019, following a recommendation from the 13th Air Navigation Conference, ICAO began work on ensuring that the air navigation system is secure and resilient to cyber-attacks, and that the storage, processing and exchange of data and information meet the requirements of confidentiality, integrity and availability.
The ongoing work includes the development of principles, policies, and guidance for an International Aviation Trust Framework (IATF). The work also includes defining performance-based requirements for the processing, exchange and storage of information in network applications, including the development of technical requirements needed to cover current and future aviation needs.
