Satellite Transmission Security

Satellite transmission uses geostationary or low-earth orbit satellites to relay signals over vast distances. Security vulnerabilities include open-air signal interception, jamming susceptibility, satellite spoofing, and attacks on ground stations. Satellite communications often use weak encryption or are transmitted in the clear, making them vulnerable to interception and manipulation.

1. 1
