Researchers from Ruhr University Bochum and the CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security in Saarbrücken have assessed the security mechanisms of satellites currently orbiting the Earth from an IT perspective. Moritz Schloegel (left) and Johannes Willbold analyzed the safety of satellites. In their hands they hold a model of a small satellite. They analyzed three current low-earth orbit satellites and found that, from a technical point of view, only some modern security concepts were implemented. … More →
