In one embodiment, a method for secured aircraft wireless network access comprises: establishing a NFC link between an EFB and an NFC node, wherein the node is hardwired to a wireless access point coupled to EFB service applications via an aircraft network. The access point provides a plurality of wireless channels for accessing the network, each are single user wireless channels. In response to a request from the EFB, determining whether a first wireless channel is available; if the first wireless channel is available, generating a logon credential associated with the first wireless channel and transmitting the credential to the EFB with the NFC node; establishing a second link between the EFB and the wireless access point using the credential; and transferring data between the EFB and EFB server applications over the second link.
