EasyChair Preprint 13230

Abstract

In the evolving age of satellite communication, ground stations have played an important role and, by implication, to wireless communication. From the very beginning, security for satellite ground stations has always been taken into consideration. In recent research, because of their importance, they are convenient targets to attackers and other security concerns. This paper comprehensively provides security challenges in satellite ground stations, with respect to corresponding mitigation techniques. This research paper starts by introducing the vulnerabilities in satellite ground stations and then from these vulnerabilities we can uncover how these security risks affects satellite communication. With these security risks, there is urgent need for security countermeasures to protect satellite ground station systems. Comprehensively this paper will cover the security future trends and technology techniques to safeguard satellite ground station systems against increasing cyber attacks and obtain a thorough understanding of the security concerns affect satellite communication.
