EFB Single sign-on Benefits
Users of the Electronic Flight Bag (EFB) app are able to easily log into the app using their organisation’s single sign-on (SSO) credentials; saving time and improving flight data security.
SSO on EFB apps provide numerous benefits for both the users and the airline.
Here are some of the key advantages to using SSO:
Enhanced EFB Security
Using a single set of secure credentials, pilots and crew can significantly reduce the risk of password-related breaches.
With fewer credentials in circulation, there’s less opportunity for users to fall victim to phishing scams targeting multiple accounts.
Furthermore, centralised access management makes it easier to monitor and control access to sensitive flight data and operational systems.

Streamlined User Experience?
SSO provides quick access by eliminating password fatigue and the need to remember multiple passwords, streamlining login times during pre-flight briefings and preparations.
It also simplifies onboarding for new users, allowing them to access the EFB app seamlessly once their organisation credentials are configured, avoiding complex account registration processes.?
Additionally, SSO ensures consistent access across platforms, enabling users to log in once and access multiple integrated data within the EFB ecosystem without the need for repeated authentication.

Operational Efficiency
The need for password resets and resolving login-related issues is greatly reduced, resulting in fewer help desk tickets and a lighter workload for IT support teams.?
IT teams can streamline user management by controlling roles and permissions through a single directory, ensuring that users are granted the appropriate access levels efficiently.
With centralised identity management, recovering access during system failures or emergencies is faster and more reliable.?
Compliance and Auditability
SSO enables detailed access logs, recording who accessed the EFB app, when, and from where. This feature supports compliance with aviation regulations by providing a clear audit trail, and meets GDPR regulatory requirements.
In cases of employee departures, access to all linked systems can be revoked in a single step, significantly reducing security risks.

1 个月While I agess with SSO or Ping like authentication, I'm against MFA. MFA should never be used for EFB apps. Security teams always push for it, but as operators and EFB administrators, we always stop them bc there is no way to do that when flying. In the US FAR 121.542 prohibits the use of a PED (phone) and the even if you were legal to use a phone it's not connected to the internet. Do you want your pilots locked out of an app while trying to shoot an approach or go-around? MFA doesn't belong in EFB.
