Satellite Internet security: requirement, current status and trends
Online published: 2024-11-16

Satellite Internet serves as the core of next-generation communication networks, and exhibits several distinctive features, such as blurred internal and external boundaries, globally open networks, and overlapping hostile and friendly spaces. These features inevitably make security issues a focal point in the design and construction of such networks. Firstly, the primary security threats faced by Satellite Internet were analyzed, particularly in terms of network transmission involving nodes, links, and routing, with a special emphasis on novel satellite spoofing attacks. Subsequently, the current states of security technology development were reviewed in the areas of node access authentication, link secure transmission, and network security routing. Finally, the development trends of Satellite Internet security technology were predicted, highlighting the importance of endogenous, systematic, and intelligent Satellite Internet techniques. Furthermore, several key future research directions in Satellite Internet security were suggested, including integrated security protection systems for Satellite Internet, satellite radio frequency fingerprint authentication, cross-layer secure transmission between satellite and ground, location protection for satellite-ground wireless communication, and deterministic mission security execution based on intrinsic security.
