  • The purpose of this study is to provide in-flight security in situations where aviation security is constantly threatened by the increase in illegal interference in aircraft and the threat of terrorism that still exists. It is to identify legal operational problems such as education and qualification of the original system and to propose improvement measures. To this end, the need for revision based on relevant laws and guidelines such as "Operation Guidelines for In-Flight Security Officers" is to be discussed based on international standards such as ICAO and Federal Air Marshal. The research method was based on interviews with SEMs such as cabin managers, which focused on ensuring the legal status of In-Flight Security Officer, establishing relationships with captains, and improving education and training.

  • Soon after September 11 attacks in 2001, there were strong demands in Korea on making relevant laws and regulations on aviation security, and Korean parliament legislated "Aviation Safety and Security Act"to fulfill the demands on safety and security of aircrafts during aviation. However, the current Aviation Safety and Security Act seems to have many problems which do not meet the practical needs in Korea, because there were not enough considerations on the practical needs and extinguishable national circumstances on civil aviation system in Korea, but only regarded the relevant international conventions and foreign practices on it. In this context, it is necessary to amend several provisions in Aviation Safety and Security Act to enhance more practical efficiencies in its implementation through systematization of the provisions on crimes which may happen during aviation. In this context, this article argues two main issues. First, Article 39 of Aviation Safety and Security Act does not express whether it is possible to punish the attempt of crime of causing damage to aircraft. Therefore, regarding a principle of legality, it is impossible to punish the perpetrator even when coincidently failed to destruct or damage aircraft. In this context, this article argues that the necessity to introduce the possibility to punish the attempt of crime of causing damage to aircraft. Second, regarding Article 160 of Civil Aviation Act of Korea, current Aviation Safety and Security Act should be amended by guaranteeing the culpability of negligence of crime of causing damage to aircraft.

  • The study examined the effects of shift pattern and expertise on perceived workload and performance for aviation security screeners. 18 security screeners participated in this study, in which data were analyzed by dividing them into two groups (experts vs. less-experts). We measured their perceived workloads and performances (i.e., reading time through X-ray) as a function of shift pattern and time condition. As a result, highly experienced screeners (experts) showed high workload during the morning shift, while lowly experienced screeners (less-experts) reported high workload during the full-day and the afternoon shifts. In addition, less-experts took a longer time to inspect the baggage when they worked for the full-day and the afternoon shifts. Particularly, in the last time slot of the full-dat shift, expert screeners had a high workload, while both groups showed a high-level of workload at around 17:30 in the afternoon shift.

  • This paper deal with a method for calculating the continuity of Korea Augmentation Satellite System (KASS), which was completed in Korea in December 2023, and a plan to respond in the event that a continuity hazard situation occurs during operation. For this purpose, the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) continuity standards, Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), and European Geostationary Navigation Overlay Service (EGNOS) continuity cases are examined in this paper. According to the measures recommended by the ICAO, when the number of continuity risks exceeds a certain level and the level drops drastically, various mitigation operations by country are implemented. Through this, if KASS does not meet ICAO continuity standards in the future, such measures can be referred to. In addition, this paper computes the short-term KASS continuity during the test broadcast period. Although continuity does not meet the ICAO standards, although this test period is too short, further meaningful analysis in the future is required. Additionally, this paper carried out an analysis of the timing and period to systematically calculate the meaningful value of continuity.

  • The use of EFB (Electronic Flight Bag) has expanded, providing convenience to flight crews by minimizing paper usage within aircraft and offering the latest information, operability, and convenience related to aircraft operations. EFBs provide flight-sensitive information such as aircraft performance calculations, airport diagrams, routes, and approach procedures. For these information, EFBs connect to the cyber environment through Wi-Fi or self-contained data communication, allowing access to cloud-based systems for information updates, with administrators uploading the latest information for retrieval. However, in contrast to the evolving aviation technology, there is currently no legislation or security policy in place to maintain the security of EFBs, leaving them exposed to potential cyber threats. Therefore, improvements such as revising relevant laws to address potential cyber threats targeting EFBs and establishing and implementing EFB management systems are necessary. This paper aims to present the necessity for amending laws related to EFB security in response to cyber threats and suggests methods for enhancement.

  • The penalty clauses of 'Aviation Act' and 'Aviation Safety and Security Act' going into effect now were legislated because the aviation safety is being more influenced by the aviation safety system compared to the ground or maritime transportation and it is possible the aircraft can harm to people and wealth located in the ground as well as threaten the safety of the passengers and crew on board when it is the target of crimes. However, analyzing the current acts, applicable objects and behavioral requirements of some provisions are too general, and they are providing severely high penalties in many clauses without separating applicable objects and behavioral requirements. In addition, there are some critical legislative defects and there is a problem in terms of law-applicable area in the legal system. It is inferred that these legislative problems of the criminal special-law related to the aviation were caused by following reasons; first, aviation security experts or policy-makers than criminal law experts attended more actively in the enactment process, second, the communication among specialist groups were not accomplished well enough.

  • The $4^{th}$ generation mobile communications, through several radio access networks such as WLAN, Bluetooth, UMTS, GPRS, CDMA 1X, and IMT-2000 in the same area offering different type of coverage, will support interactive multimedia services in additions to wider bandwidths, higher bit rates, and service portability. Regardless of various radio access networks, they will also support robust security mechanisms, as well as seamless mobility and common authentication. In this paper, we give an overview of WLAN security and examine its security problems. We also explain the enhanced security schemes, such as port-based authentication, EAP, and IEEE 802.1X. For secure wireless communications, several possible security solutions are offered and evaluated in various respects to improve WLAN security. This paper will make a contribution to provide more secure wireless communications to cellular operators embracing WLAN technology as a means to generate new revenues based on data services.
