With the increasing usage of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV)s and the prediction of becoming applicable to more industries within the next decade there is a need for a controlling authority in the lower airspace. An Unmanned Aircraft System Traffic Man- agement (UTM) provides multiple solutions to how such a system should operate and what services it should provide. This makes a UTM a key infrastructure that will need to withstand potential cyberattacks and ensure safe communication channels with sensitive information. This thesis will provide an analysis of what key areas need protection and show an example of how to implement it in UTM50. Possible vulnerabilities were identified by performing a risk analysis based on the Con- trolled Object-Oriented Risk Assessment (CORAS) model, and a comparison was made between similar communication systems to compare what challenges they face. To handle the vulnerabilities, countermeasures were implemented in UTM50 using coding libraries such as ZeroMQ and CurveZMQ. The implementation was tested to ensure its effective- ness against possible cyber attacks, and the traffic was monitored using Wireshark. Finally, this thesis presents a few areas that require further research to ensure full safety and security across all communication channels.
