Securing Satellite Constellations: Challenges and Solutions for Next-Generation Space-Based Networks

EasyChair Preprint 11831

Abstract

This research paper examines the challenges and explores potential solutions for securing satellite constellations, which are increasingly being deployed for next-generation space-based networks. Satellite constellations offer improved coverage, increased capacity, and enhanced communication capabilities, but they also present unique security considerations. The paper discusses the challenges associated with securing satellite constellations, including orbital dynamics, vulnerability to cyberattacks, and the need for secure key management. It explores solutions such as advanced encryption algorithms, anomaly detection systems, and secure network architectures to address these challenges and ensure the security and resilience of satellite constellations.

Keyphrases: Cyberattacks, Encryption algorithms, Space-based networks, communication security, key management, satellite constellations
