This page gives an overview of the subprojects within Cybersecurity Makerspace.
The Cybersecurity Makerspace is an initiative funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) under the ARTES
programme, aiming to explore and to address cybersecurity challenges in the domain of satellite
communication (SatCom). The Makerspace enables startups, SMEs, academic institutions, and research
organisations to contribute targeted solutions and innovative technologies to enhance the security and
resilience of current and future SatCom systems. The project is coordinated by OHB Digital Connect and is
structured into multiple sub-activities, each focusing on specific cybersecurity aspects
Titel
Description
Status
The goal of this study is to deliver practical
recommendations and a roadmap for the efficient implementation of cyber regulations within the SATCOM
ecosystem.
Finished
The project aims to create a scalable security assessment framework, identify potential vulnerabilities, and propose initial improvements that can enhance software resilience in future missions.
Finished
The goal is to identify key attack surfaces and potential vulnerabilities, helping to understand how adversaries could target satellite systems.
On-Going
This activity focuses on independent security testing of commercial SATCOM terminals and related space communication protocols such as DVB and 5G NTN.
On-Going
This activity explores how post-quantum cryptography (PQC) can be integrated into existing Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) standards through X.509 hybridization.
On-Going
Its main purpose is to explore and analyze cybersecurity risks that may arise when using large language model (LLM) applications in critical SATCOM environments.
Finished
The goal is to provide mission teams with actionable tools to detect, prevent, and respond to security threats across the entire supply chain lifecycle.
On-Going
Building on the framework developed in Project 1, this activity conducts a comprehensive threat assessment on a more advanced satellite platform representative of systems used by leading industry players.
In-Preparation
Building on the framework developed in Project 1, this activity conducts a comprehensive threat assessment on a more advanced satellite platform representative of systems used by leading industry players.
In-Preparation
This project aims to study if using existing information (ground segment logs, telemetry) in combination with COTS/open-source rule-based log analysis tools can be used to provide security monitoring for SATCOM systems with relatively little effort.
