Security Attacks Against the Availability of Low Earth Orbit Satellite Networks

Abstract

Satellite communication has emerged as a pivotal mechanism for providing Internet access, especially in areas where conventional communication methods are not viable. This resurgent interest in satellite communications has triggered high investment and development by companies like SpaceX, Amazon, OneWeb and Telesat. Many important factors dominate network communication, and security is especially important. The lack of adequate security measures can trigger financial accidents and service disruptions. This principle applies to the satellite communication sector, which is currently the focus of considerable interest and investment. This paper presents a simulation of using broadcast packets that interfere with the availability of low-orbit earth satellite communication from malicious attackers, and how to mitigate the method.
