According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "Satellite communication systems are vital for a wide range of applications, including telecommunications, weather monitoring, and navigation. Ensuring the authenticity and integrity of signals in such systems is crucial for security and reliability. Traditional methods for authentication in satellite communication systems have primarily relied on cryptographic techniques. Traditional methods for authentication in satellite communication systems often rely on cryptographic protocols like encryption and digital signatures. While these methods are effective, they may have limitations in scenarios where the computational resources for cryptographic operations are constrained. The primary challenge is to develop a system that can authenticate the source of signals in a satellite communication system based on physical layer features. This involves designing algorithms capable of analyzing the characteristics of received signals and determining their authenticity. As satellite communication systems become more sophisticated, the need for robust and efficient authentication mechanisms has grown."
