Exploring the Applications of Frequency Modulation to Secure CubeSats (Space-Based IoT) from Eavesdropping, Jamming, and Interference

Rajiv Thummala

As private and public sectors seek to expand upon their efficacy, the commercialization of space has skyrocketed. However, this revolution has been met with serious perils. Akin to other critical infrastructures, space-based assets are increasingly facing cyberattacks. The escalation in the deployment of CubeSats will exacerbate this plight, due to poor encryption in conjunction with rudimentary payloads and busses. This study evaluates the applications of FHSS & OFDM 802.11 frequency modulation to secure CubeSat technology.
