Japan plan to develop a hack proof satellite system to protect transmissions between satellites and ground stations with a dynamic encryption of data. As cyber-attacks represent a serious threat to satellite communications, satellites have a crucial role in our digital society, almost every industry is benefiting from their services for this reason their security is a pillar of the cyber security strategy of governments worldwide.
Satellites communicate with terrestrial base stations using radio waves, hackers can intercept with unpredictable consequences. Hackers who can decode the encrypted data can steal information, manipulate it or take the control of the satellite. In August, the Chinese government launched the world’s first quantum satellite, which will help it establish “hack-proof” communications between space and the ground.
