Towards a Resilience-Based Cybersecurity Framework for ADS-B Systems in Air Traffic Management

This working paper presents a resilience-based cybersecurity framing for Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) systems within Air Traffic Management (ATM) environments. The paper positions ADS-B cybersecurity not only as a technical vulnerability issue, but as a broader cyber-physical resilience challenge involving technical infrastructure, operational decision-making, and governance structures. It introduces a high-level conceptual framework structured around four interdependent resilience functions: prevention, detection, response, and recovery, applied across technical, operational, and governance layers. This document is released as a safe preprint and working paper to establish a citable, timestamped research position while reserving detailed methodology, analytical models, validation design, and full findings for the doctoral thesis and future peer-reviewed publications. This work represents ongoing doctoral research. Further validation and expansion are in progress.
