The objective of this activity is to bring modern, end-to-end network security to space communications by adapting IPsec, the standard security protocol used on the terrestrial Internet, to the CCSDS space communication stack. Led under a contract with European Space Agency, the project develops and validates a modular “IP over CCSDS” security module that enables encrypted, authenticated, and scalable IP networking for satellites, constellations, and future lunar missions.

The objective of the R-SDRP (Resilient Software-Defined Radio Platform) activity is to design and validate a low-cost, resilient, and security-enabled software-defined radio platform for satellite applications, based entirely on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware. The activity aims to demonstrate how advanced SDR and FPGA technologies can be combined with modern cryptographic security mechanisms, including post-quantum cryptography, while remaining compatible with the cost, power, and resource constraints of future satellite payloads.

The SIGMA project focuses on the technological and operational demonstration in a real-world environment of a system for detecting, locating, and characterizing sources of disruption to GNSS positioning systems (jamming and spoofing). The aim of the project is to develop an experimental demonstration project focused on improving existing technological components. This system will be based on a radio frequency signal analyser installed on a satellite platform, with the purpose of scanning the Earth's surface.

The proposed activity is focused on the development of the first building blocks of a quantum and cryptanalysis secure remote software update system for satellites. The unique feature of the proposed remote software update system is the use of the ITS authentication algorithm “WCA” to protect the software installation packages. Accordingly, it is the objective of this activity do develop the implementation of the cryptographic WCA algorithm in a cryptographic FPGA chip and the related cryptographic features of the remote software update system.

We are thrilled to share some exciting developments from our latest project, FYSON, conducted under an ESA contract using the ESA OPS-SAT satellite. This demonstration marks a pivotal moment in space communication, showcasing groundbreaking technologies in a real space environment.

As we venture deeper into space, the importance of cybersecurity becomes even more pronounced. At Skudo, our passion for space exploration led us to develop the FYSON project, an initiative that stands for "For Your Eyes Only". But what does this mysterious name signify, and how is it propelling us into the next frontier of space technology?
Deciphering FYSON
At its core, the FYSON project encapsulates a robust encryption mechanism, ensuring that data transmitted from satellites is solely decipherable by the intended recipient. This is achieved by employing a specialized encryption wherein only the designated user, possessing the correct digital certificate (or key), can decrypt and access the data. It’s a digital whisper from the satellite, meant only for those chosen ears.
About Skudo
We envision a world where all digital communications are safe and private. We are dedicated to creating innovative best-in-class hardware solutions that protect data exchange with the highest level of security and privacy.
