The document discusses the vulnerabilities of satellite systems, which are integral to critical infrastructures and increasingly exposed to various threats. It emphasizes the necessity of incorporating information security features as fundamental elements rather than optional add-ons, advocating for standardized security measures. Additionally, it highlights the European Space Agency's efforts to integrate security into space communications standards and the need for certifiable approaches in network-centric satellite systems.

- 2. 01/06/2015 Summary All critical infrastructures of our society rely on ICT systems; their confidentiality, availability, integrity, continuity and quality of service have to be guaranteed and protected Satellite systems, integrated into world-wide ICT infrastructures, are more and more vulnerable to intentional and non-intentional threats Satellite security is often limited to encryption and anti-jamming technologies, but satellite ground segments are exposed to the same type of threats typically experienced by terrestrial information systems Information security is no longer a “nice to have”, but rather a “must have” option.

- 10. 01/06/2015 Space Communications Standards The European Space Agency (ESA) is integrating security features into its space communications standards ESA communications with its spacecrafts are based on the CCSDS (Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems) Packet TM/TC Protocol Family, that does not presently integrate default security features CCSDS, however, has proposed new standards (Space Communication Protocol Standards, SCPS) providing built-in security support functions.
- 11. 01/06/2015 Conclusions In a network-centric perspective, satellite systems need to incorporate standardized and certifiable approaches to information security So far information security has been perceived as a customized add-on, leading to a variety of security requirements and to a number of proprietary solutions, adopted by space agencies and industries Certification standards and security solutions for network-centric military systems can be effectively applied to complex, network-centric satellite systems Information security features, including encryption, keys management and conditional access control, will have to be designed into the network from the beginning, as an integral part of it.
