Comprehensive security overview for IT professionals and network administrators
AFT3CH is a Windows desktop application for viewing and processing physiological signals from BIOPAC systems. It runs as a standard user-mode .NET desktop application without installing services, kernel drivers, or modifying firewall rules or Group Policy.
Network communications use BIOPAC's documented Network Data Transfer (NDT) interface over standard TCP/UDP on explicitly configured ports (trusted LAN/VPN only). Optional encrypted MQTT telemetry is tunneled through port 443 for restrictive environments.
AFT3CH makes a single outbound HTTPS request to updates.orbit-biomed.com for version checking only—no silent downloads or installations. There are no listening HTTP services or remote command execution capabilities.
AFT3CH communicates with AcqKnowledge using BIOPAC's documented NDT mechanism, where AcqKnowledge acts as the server and AFT3CH as the client.
All communications use standard TCP/UDP sockets on configurable ports. The protocol consists of binary sample frames with no arbitrary command execution beyond documented acquisition control.
Direction: Outbound from AFT3CH
Target: AcqKnowledge control port (configured in AcqKnowledge → Preferences → Networking)
Protocol: TCP
Purpose: Query acquisition, specify channels, start/stop via NDT commands
Direction: Inbound to AFT3CH (optional, only if on different hosts)
Source: AcqKnowledge host
Protocol: TCP or UDP (as configured)
Purpose: NDT binary data protocol for physiological streams
Firewall Summary: Only explicitly configured NDT ports between AFT3CH and AcqKnowledge are required. No exposure to wider network beyond these connections.
AFT3CH can optionally send telemetry using MQTT as a client only, never as a broker. All connections are client-initiated and encrypted.
aft3ch/summary/...MQTT carried over encrypted TLS channel providing confidentiality and integrity on the wire. Tunneled through port 443 in restricted networks.
End-to-end encryption using AES-256-GCM authenticated encryption. Only authorized endpoints with correct key material can decrypt message contents. Tampering detected via GCM tag.
Important: MQTT is used for data exchange only, not code execution. Messages are parsed into fixed, documented schemas for telemetry and bounded application configuration.
No Backdoor Capabilities: AFT3CH cannot be used for general remote access or control of the system.
These inputs can only influence AFT3CH's internal visualization and configuration—not the underlying operating system or other applications.
