CP-07 topology

How CP-07 protects aviation and aerospace networks.

A FIRE-led pattern for aerospace and aviation. Incoming traffic to ground IT, MRO benches and airport operational networks is blocked at Layer 1 by default. Reach exists only as an air-lock cycle: validated request, outer door opens, inner door opens, session runs, both doors close.

Grounded in EASA Part-IS, FAA InfoSec Handbook 1370.121, ICAO Doc 8973 and IEC 62443-3-3 SR 5.1.

03How it reads end to end

The Blueprint in full.

Firebreak holds the boundary closed by default, so no incoming session, sync or update reaches airline IT, MRO, avionics test benches or airport operational networks unless explicitly opened. Isolate keeps flight-critical, ground handling and corporate zones physically apart. Validate checks every ingress request against identity, authority and airworthiness policy before the air-lock cycles. Relay opens the inner door only after the outer one is proved closed, then closes it again on schedule. Lock, Archive and Execute preserve who did what, and revoke the window on signal.
