Zero Trust Architecture for Spacecraft Command & Control: Hardware Roots of Trust

Securing satellite flight computers with hardware secure enclaves, cryptographic attestation, and anti-rollback firmware.

Technical Foundations & System Constraints

Deploying zero trust spacecraft c2 in non-terrestrial environments requires solving fundamental physics constraints: path loss over 1000km distances, rapid carrier frequency shifts due to Doppler effects, and power-thermal limits of spaceborne hardware. The architecture provides deterministic mitigation strategies.

Implementation Architecture & Protocol Workflows

The protocol workflow for zero trust spacecraft c2 coordinates physical layer signal acquisition with higher-layer transport resilience. By leveraging open-loop ephemeris calculations and adaptive retransmission timers, communication links maintain uninterrupted throughput across satellite handoffs.
