The Next level of Security Scalable Solution Blockchain (SSSB) in Satellite Communication System

Abstract

Data security is one of the topmost priorities for government organisations and multinational companies. In particular, extremely sensitive data is regularly transferred between different branches of the government and the military. Hacking and interruption of data transmission of such high-level data transfers can pose a huge risk to the security of a country and to its integrity as well. The method that the article proposes has been implemented on a smaller scale for cryptocurrency transactions by the organisation “Blockstream”. This study serves the purpose of exploring a new use case of blockchain technology using satellite communication in order to establish an extremely secure and very high-speed data transmission connection between two parties. In this idea, the required sensitive data that is to be transferred to another party, sends the data through blockchain method of data transfer. This data is sent to the satellite where the satellite behaves as a node of data transmission in this blockchain connection and the private key is also encoded into the satellite software making it impossible in attempting to hack the encryption of the private key. When the satellite receives this data, it verifies the authenticity of the sender and analyses the encryption of the data. Then this data will be transmitted to its designated receiver. Once the data is received, it will be converted from blockchain to the regular data packets and the information can be shared within its local network. In this article, we explore further about the technology that’s being used to implement the connection from about the technology that’s being used to implement the connection from the ground station to the satellite via blockchain in the present day. The results produced by this article will help in attaining uncompromising security and speed of data transmission which will put an end to the tensions faced by higher authorities while sharing highly classified data.
