Maritime & Aviation

Blockchain Security for Maritime & Aviation

License the patented technology that secures vessel and aircraft access, protects navigation systems, and delivers resilient satellite communication across oceans and airspace.

The Challenge

Security Challenges at Sea and in the Sky

Maritime and aviation operations face unique security threats — isolated environments, reliance on satellite communication, and physical assets worth hundreds of millions.

1

Vessel and aircraft hijacking

Unauthorized access to ships, aircraft, and their control systems poses direct safety and security threats

2

Port and airport facility breaches

Large-scale facilities with thousands of daily access events are vulnerable to credential fraud and unauthorized entry

3

Communication interception

Ship-to-shore, air-to-ground, and pilot-controller communications are susceptible to monitoring and spoofing

4

Crew and personnel identity fraud

Forged seafarer credentials, pilot licenses, and airport worker IDs undermine operational safety

5

Navigation system manipulation

GPS spoofing and AIS manipulation can redirect vessels or create phantom traffic

6

Piracy and maritime crime

Remote vessel access and communication vulnerabilities are exploited by organized criminal networks

7

Terrestrial network dependence

Mid-ocean and in-flight operations lose connectivity when terrestrial networks are out of range

The Solution

Three Patented Pillars for Maritime & Aviation Security

Pillar 1

Verified Identity for Every Crew Member and Passenger

Maritime and aviation operators can integrate blockchain-based identity verification for crew members, pilots, passengers, and ground/port workers. Immutable blockchain records ensure that seafarer credentials, pilot licenses, and airport worker IDs are authentic and cannot be forged — with every verification event permanently logged.

Use Cases

  • Seafarer and crew identity verification
  • Pilot and aircrew credential authentication
  • Airport and port worker access authorization
  • Passenger identity verification for boarding
  • Immigration and customs pre-clearance
  • Cargo handler credential management
  • Maintenance crew authentication

Pillar 2

Secure Every Hatch, Cockpit, and Restricted Zone

Vessels, aircraft, port facilities, and airport restricted zones can be secured with encrypted, one-time-use access codes transmitted via Bluetooth and logged in a distributed hyperledger. The system is designed to work offline — critical for mid-ocean and in-flight scenarios — and syncs with servers when connectivity is restored.

Use Cases

  • Ship bridge and engine room access
  • Aircraft cockpit door security
  • Port and terminal restricted area access
  • Airport secure zones
  • Container and cargo hold access control
  • Fuel storage and hazardous material areas
  • Marina and dock gate access

Pillar 3

Resilient Communication Across Oceans and Airspace

Maritime and aviation operators depend on satellite communication for navigation, safety, and operational coordination. Silakab’s patented system ensures that only validated stations communicate through satellite, with blockchain-logged transmission records providing a complete, tamper-proof audit trail of all communications.

Use Cases

  • Ship-to-shore and vessel-to-vessel communication
  • Air traffic management and pilot-controller data links
  • Search and rescue coordination
  • Fleet tracking and management communication
  • Weather and navigation data transmission
  • Maritime distress and safety communication
  • In-flight operational data exchange
