Recent Aviation Week article which has clear explanation on this. (Aircraft Avionics Hacking: Is It Possible? from May 22 2018)
In its Special conditions for the 787, the FAA, in the Federal register / Vol. 73, No. 1 / Wednesday, January 2, 2008 said this:
"This airplane will have novel or unusual design features when compared to the state of technology envisioned in the airworthiness
standards for transport category airplanes. These novel or unusual design features are associated with connectivity of the passenger domain
computer systems to the airplane critical systems and data networks."
