Survey on security issues of routing and anomaly detection for space information networks

Abstract

Space information networks is network systems that can receive, transmit, and process spatial information lively. It uses satellites, stratosphere airships, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, and other platforms as the carrier. It supports high-dynamic, real-time broadband transmission of earth observations and ultra-long-distance, long-delay reliable transmission of deep space exploration. The deeper the network integration, the higher the system’s security concerns and the more likely SINs will be controlled and destroyed in terms of cybersecurity. How to integrate new IT technologies such as artificial intelligence, digital twins, and blockchain to diverse application scenarios of SINs while maintaining SIN cybersecurity will be a long-term critical technical issue. This study is a review of the security issues for space information networks. First, this paper examines space information networks’ security issues and figures out the relationship between the main security threats, services, and mechanisms. Then, this article selects secure routing and anomaly detection from many security technologies to conduct a detailed overview from two perspectives of traditional methods and artificial intelligence. Subsequently, this paper investigates anomaly detection schemes for spatial information networks and proposes a deep learning-based anomaly detection scheme. Finally, we suggest the potential research directions and opening problems of space information network security. Overall, this paper aims to give readers an overview of the newly emerging technologies in space information networks’ security issues and provide inspiration for future exploration.

Threat analysis for space information network based on network security attributes: a review

“…Furthermore, considering the complexity of SIN, the security assurance also depends on cross-layer strategies or network functions. Zhou et al [27] analyzed the relation between threats and services in SIN. They compared the difference in secure routing protocols and anomaly detection methods between traditional technology and Artificial Intelligence (AI).…”

“…Orbiters need to rely on orbital environment situational awareness techniques to avoid collision [95]. On the other hand, the high-energy electromagnetic radiation can cause malfunctions in spacecraft electronics, such as system shutdowns or power interruptions [27]. For the availability of the routing function, if destroyed nodes are not important and their number is small, the network can reconstruct the routing of the damaged topology.…”

The Importance of Global Effort to Secure Space Sector from Cyberattack

“…SINs security issues should be investigated from the routing issues and anomaly detection issues. There are four types of routing issues: SINs routing types, single-layer routing, multi-layer routing, and intelligent routing-based machine learning(Zhuo, et al, 2021).Two research above investigated how to secure space assets from cyberattack. globe.…”
