Survey on key security technologies for space information networks

摘要

SIN(Space Information Network)is expected to play an increasing role in providing real-time,flexible,and integrated communication and data transmission services in an efficient manner.Nowadays,SIN has been widely developed for position navigation,environment monitor,traffic management,counter-terrorism,etc.However,security is a major concern in SIN,since the satellites,spacecrafts,and aircrafts are susceptible to a variety of traditional/specific network-based attacks,including eavesdropping,session hijacking,and illegal accessing.The network architecture and security issues of SIN were reviewed.Various security requirements were discussed that should be considered when designing SIN.And existing solutions proposed to meet these requirements were surveyed.The key challenges and key technologies that still require extensive research and development for securing SIN were indentifed.
