A Taxonomy Framework for Maritime Cybersecurity: A Demonstration Using the Automatic Identification System

The maritime transportation system is increasingly a target of cyber attacks. This paper describes a taxonomy that supports the creation of adversarial cyber models, risk mitigation, and resiliency plans as applied to the maritime industry, using the Automatic Identification System as a specific illustration of the approach. This method has already been applied to the aviation sector; retooling it for a maritime example demonstrates its broad applicability to the transportation sector, in general. http://www.transnav.eu the International Journal on Marine Navigation and Safety of Sea Transportation Volume 12
