1. A mobile computing platform comprising:

  • a processor;

    memory connected to the processor;

    a security interface interposed between the processor and a certified avionics system, the security interface configured to isolate the processor from the certified avionics system and restrict the processor'"'"'s ability to extract data from the certified avionics system; and

    computer executable program code configured to execute on the processor,wherein the computer executable program code is configured to;

    identify one or more security levels, each of the one or more security levels defined by the nature of a network connected system, each of the one or more security levels further associated with at least one of a system interaction, a data transfer or a data manipulation being attempted by an application, the application being configured to interact with the certified aircraft avionics system;

    authenticate the application to allow the certified avionics system to download data from the mobile computing platform; and

    restrict the application from allowing the certified avionics system to download data from the mobile platform; and

    wherein the one or more security levels ensure that the application conforms to one or more avionic system certification standards.
