Abstract

Satellite communications will always play a key role in network centric operations (NCO), in particular for countries like Australia, with large land mass and huge coast lines. We start from the concept advantages of NCO and we end with some practical approaches that increase the security of satellite links. We show how the physical layer in a communication system can significantly increase the uncertainty in detecting a “0” or a “1” for an attacker, before even reaching the conventional decryption stage.
