Abstract
A system for dynamically implementing exceptions in an onboard network firewall has a client application interface receptive to a data link request from a client device. An onboard connectivity manager includes a firewall interface connected to the onboard network firewall to request the exceptions in response to a connection authorization, and a client presence manager receptive to the data link request relayed by the client application interface from the client device. A presence state for the client devices is activated and maintained following the data link request. A remote connectivity manager is connected to a remote application service and is in communication with the onboard connectivity manager. The remote connectivity manager generates a connection authorization based upon an evaluation of the presence state for the client device against the conditions set by the remote application service.
