“…However, when a user attaches to a new satellite, a new session key needs to be re-constructed following the identical access authentication process, which involves heavy communication and computation overheads. Xue et al in [11] present a lightweight key agreement protocol based on the secret-sharing technology, in which the LEO satellites negotiate a shared group key with the assistance of the GEO satellites. When a user roams across different LEO satellites, the overhead of the secure link re-establishment in terms of the handover authentication phase can be greatly reduced due to the construction of group keys.…”

“…Specifically, an LEO satellite's orbital period ranges from 90 to 110 minutes, and each connection duration between an LEO satellite and a ground station is 5 to 15 minutes over 6 to 8 times per day [9], which leads to the consequence of frequent handover. Meanwhile, some secure handover authentication protocols are designed in [8], [10], [11], which realize both the mutual authentication and session key agreement during the handover processes. However, these schemes only consider one satellite hop case, i.e., the satellite directly connects to both the ground station and the vehicle.…”

Ubiquitous connection to modern vehicles is mandatory to support diverse intelligent functions, including autonomous driving, telediagnosis, infotainment services, and others. Since the deployment of the cellular access points is still scarce in rural areas, the low earth orbit (LEO) constellationbased communication is believed to provide a realistic alternative. However, due to the long propagation delay and limited satellite on-board processing ability, the design of security protocols in LEO constellations remain challenging. Aiming at these challenges, we propose a secure user access and inter-satellite handover mechanism, which achieves the control-and userplane key separation. Specifically, our proposed scheme exploits an identity-based encryption scheme with proxy re-encryption to achieve the key establishments with high efficiency, and it also achieves the highly efficient secure batch handover with the assistance of a stack. Detailed analysis is performed to demonstrate the security properties of our proposed scheme, in terms of confidentiality, authentication, and forward/backward key separation. Furthermore, simulation results illustrate that our proposed scheme achieves high computational complexity and communication overheads in comparison with a traditional scheme.

“…Due to its benefits in offering broad access services and the quick development of satellite technology, the space information network has been presented as a solution to address the rising demands of ubiquitous mobile communication [15]. However, the extremely dynamic topology and the limited resource availability of satellites make management and resource use difficult for development.…”

LSSDNF: A Lightweight Secure Software Defined Network Framework for Future Internet in 5G–6G

As information technology advances quickly, so does the 5G–6G network management system, which is moving toward greater integration, decentralization, diversity, and intelligence. As flexibility is a crucial criterion for 5G–6G network architecture, we use the Software Defined Network (SDN) paradigm to make the programmability more flexible. Due to their ability to replace the current TCP/IP architecture with one that separates the control plane and data plane, software-defined networks have gained much popularity. However, they are susceptible to routing attacks. Therefore, this work proposes Lightweight Security Framework that combines blockchain technology with Software-Defined Networking (LSSDNF) to address this problem. The proposed framework adds the routing data that the controller withheld to the multichain blockchain. Here, a mininet network simulator is used to model the proposed framework. The data transfer rate or network throughput, bandwidth variation, and jitter have all been used to assess the performance of single-controller-SDN networks and multi-controller-SDN networks. The results demonstrate that the proposed framework performs better than the conventional single-controller-SDN architecture in terms of throughput, bandwidth fluctuation, and jitter.

“…Furthermore, it has a crucial impact on the generation of binary symmetric polynomials and the order of interpolation polynomials. It can be seen from reference [23] that the security and reliability of the ðn, kÞ tthreshold secret sharing scheme are closely related to the key update cycle and the threshold value. Therefore, choosing the appropriate key update cycle and threshold is of great significance in improving the security of this scheme.…”

The rapid establishment of the low Earth orbit (LEO) satellite network in orbit has promoted the development of satellite communication technology. However, with the reduction of access conditions of satellite networks, the problems of data protection and secure communication have attracted extensive attention. A secret sharing scheme is a cryptographic technology that can disperse risks and tolerate intrusion by dividing and storing secrets. Using secret sharing technology in satellite communication can realize information security and data confidentiality. However, if there are cheaters among the participants, existing secret sharing schemes cannot prevent cheaters from sharing secrets exclusively, even if they can detect attacks. For this reason, this paper proposes a satellite based on binary symmetric polynomials protected fair secret sharing and secure communication scheme. In satellite secret refactoring, this scheme can produce a shared session key between two participants, no other key agreement processes, and reduce the scheme in the shared secret and the actual communication satellite application complexity. Users use the session key to encrypt communication to improve security and resist external attacks. The safety and fairness of the scheme are proved against the four attack models. Compared with the existing schemes, the scheme has a lower cost of deception identification on the premise of satisfying security and fairness. This scheme does not require any cryptographic assumptions and is unconditionally secure.
