The invention proposes a new device and method for verifying ACARS messages between aircraft and ground entities. The system is implemented within the aircraft systems as a further security method in such a way that the payload is not incremented. The system having: a database; a flight data acquisition module; an auxiliary module; a detection module and a protection module. The detection module performs scanning actions such as a statistical analysis, a grammatical validation and a semantic inspection. Thus, the detection module is able to detect an attack, informing to the protection module to perform a protecting action. The method comprises: providing a database having attack data; gathering real-time flight parameters; converting ACARS messages into a preformatted data; performing scanning actions between the preformatted data and both, the real-time flight parameters and the attack data for detecting an attack; providing an alert in case one of the scanning actions detects an attack.
