FAA imposes special conditions on 747-8 to prevent hacking
By Mary Kirby
Boeing must demonstrate that certain 747-8 flight critical domains cannot be tampered with by hackers under new requirements from the US FAA, which imposed similar special conditions for the 787 twinjet in 2008.
The FAA says the 747-8 and -8F jumbo "will have novel or unusual design features associated with the architecture and connectivity capabilities of the airplane's computer systems and networks, which may allow access to external computer systems and networks".
Connectivity to external systems and networks, says the agency, "may result in security vulnerabilities to the airplane's systems".
