Satellite Link Security and Authentication

Satellite Link Security and Authentication Problem

Satellite Communications Must Be Secure

• Satellite uplink commands must be encrypted and authenticated to assure legitimate control of the satellite and its operation.
• Sensitive and classified communications via satellite must be encrypted to protect them from interception and compromise.

Business and Government Need

Satellite Communications Encryption

• By Presidential mandate, government satellites must employ authenticated and encrypted command links, and encrypted downlinks
• NSTISSP-12 requires satellite authenticated command links for all commercial providers of Government satellite services
• Commercial satellites require authenticated command links to protect multi-million dollar investments in satellite communication.
