Network Infrastructure and Security (NIS) SubcommitteeLast Updated: September 17, 2008 Co-Chairman: Jean-Paul Moreaux – Airbus Goal: Coordinate the standardization of IP connectivity and security to the aircraft. Enable fleet-wide solutions based on open standards for lower development cost, increased flexibility, higher reliability, reduced complexity, longer lifespan, and ease of configurability and maintenance. Scope: NIS is to harmonize network-related and security-related activities of the various AEEC subcommittees working in related areas. NIS will serve as AEEC focal point for liaison to groups external to AEEC in order to coordinate work in these areas. NIS will focus on the interfaces and not on the hardware or software applications. NIS will provide support to AEEC by providing operational assessments of networking and security issues. Benefit: By providing a forum for the discussion of networking- and security-related issues, all AEEC subcommittees can better coordinate their work with other aspects of aircraft and non-aircraft systems. This should reduce redundant activities, implement better more consistent, flexible, and interoperable solutions, and provide for better configuration control and ease maintenance. AEEC General Session (October 2006) Update: The AEEC merged the work of the ADN and SEC Subcommittees because of the interrelated nature of their charters and because of the close coordination need between networking and security issues in the context of IP connectivity to-from and within the domains onboard the aircraft. The spirit of APIMs 05-021 and 05-022 were approved with the understanding that any specific new documents required would be the subject of separate approvals. Current Drafts:
