Securing the Inter-Spacecraft Links: Doppler Frequency Shift based Physical Layer Key Generation
We propose a novel physical layer secret key generation method for the inter-spacecraft communication links. By exploiting the Doppler frequency shifts of the reciprocal spacecraft links as a unique secrecy source, spacecrafts aim to obtain identical secret keys from their individual observations. We obtain theoretical expressions for the key disagreement rate (KDR). Using generalized Gauss-Laguerre quadrature, we derive closed form expressions for the KDR. Through numerical studies, the tightness of the provided approximations are shown. Both the theoretical and numerical results demonstrate the validity and the practicality of the presented physical layer key generation procedure considering the security of the communication links of spacecrafts.

Modulation and Signal Processing for LEO-LEO Optical Inter-satellite Links
We investigate key aspects of coherent optical communications on inter-satellite links (ISLs) for the next-generation ultra-dense low-Earth orbit (LEO) constellations. Initially, the suitability of QPSK, 8-QAM, and 16-QA…
A Hybrid NOMA-OMA Scheme for Inter-plane Intersatellite Communications in Massive LEO Constellations
Communication between satellites in low-Earth orbit (LEO) constellations takes place through inter-satellite links (ISLs). Unlike intra-plane ISLs, which interconnect satellites belonging to the same orbital plane with f…
