4.2 PUBLIC KEY INFRASTRUCTURE (PKI) SECURITY CERTIFICATE
SwiftBroadband Safety security measures include a smart card inserted into each SCM, used to authenticate
the AVIATOR S system when connecting to the INMARSAT SB-S network.
A valid digital public key infrastructure (PKI) security certificate is required before SB-S connectivity is available.
The User ORT configured “Airline Designator” (See section 3.2.3) will receive a certificate signing request
(CSR) when the AVIATOR S system has successfully acquired the satellite and attempts to authenticate SB-S
services.
The Airline Designator will appoint a “Device Sponsor” who is responsible for the issuing of the PKI certificate.
Once the Device Sponsor has issued the certificate, the AVIATOR S system will automatically retrieve the
certificate, allowing SB-S services to proceed.
Refer to the INMARSAT PKI - Airline Ops Handbook [PKI_OPS] and the INMARSAT PKI Concept of
Operations [PKI_CON] for more details regarding PKI activation and usage.

The MCDU screens do not provide the smart card serial number information.
