Abstract

The low earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations, with their advantages of low latency and high maneuverability, are widely applied in various systems and are highly suitable for communication systems. However, there are still numerous security vulnerabilities present in the communication between LEO satellites and the ground. In the recent literature, there are elegant studies conducted on authentication protocols for LEO satellite networks. Inspired by the previous works, we present a secure authentication and key management protocol for the LEO-terrestrial networks by elliptic curve cryptography (ECC). Our scheme optimizes the shortcomings of previous work, significantly alleviates the computational burden on both users and servers sides, and provides a novel solution for session key updates. The verification of the security for the interaction involves the application of both informal and formal analysis approaches. Through the comprehensive analysis and simulation, it is demonstrated that the proposed work satisfies the perfect forward security, resists all known attacks, and reduces the execution time and communication cost. Additionally, our work exhibits versatility in its applicability to a diverse range of industrial scenarios with its practical significance.

卫星-地面网络安全认证方案

低地轨道（LEO）卫星星座具有低延迟和高机动性的优势，被广泛应用于各种系统，非常适合通信系统。然而，低地轨道卫星与地面之间的通信仍存在许多安全漏洞。在最近的文献中，对低地轨道卫星网络的身份验证协议进行了深入研究。受前人研究的启发，我们提出了一种利用椭圆曲线加密算法（ECC）的低地轨道-地面网络安全认证和密钥管理协议。我们的方案优化了之前工作的不足，大大减轻了用户和服务器双方的计算负担，并为会话密钥更新提供了一种新的解决方案。交互安全性的验证涉及非正式和正式分析方法的应用。通过全面的分析和仿真，证明了所提出的工作满足了完美的前向安全性，抵御了所有已知的攻击，并减少了执行时间和通信成本。此外，我们的工作还表现出了多功能性，可适用于各种工业场景，具有实际意义。

期刊介绍： The proposed journal, called the IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering (TNSE), is committed to timely publishing of peer-reviewed technical articles that deal with the theory and applications of network science and the interconnections among the elements in a system that form a network. In particular, the IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering publishes articles on understanding, prediction, and control of structures and behaviors of networks at the fundamental level. The types of networks covered include physical or engineered networks, information networks, biological networks, semantic networks, economic networks, social networks, and ecological networks. Aimed at discovering common principles that govern network structures, network functionalities and behaviors of networks, the journal seeks articles on understanding, prediction, and control of structures and behaviors of networks. Another trans-disciplinary focus of the IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering is the interactions between and co-evolution of different genres of networks.
