The 2024 Security for Space Systems Conference foresees two tracks for paper submission: IEEE and non-IEEE.

We are interested in quality, innovative, research-driven submissions in security topics for space systems, including (but not limited to) the following:

• Applied crypto for space.

• Avionics (spacecraft) security (security of avionics busses, on board data handling, processors, etc.)

• Ground segment security.

• RF jamming and anti-jamming techniques.

• Security at System level.

• Security for ‘New Space’ and mega-constellations.

• Security of optical space communications.

• Security of space communication protocols (e.g. CCSDS)

• Security of satcom systems (e.g. 5G NTN, DVB-S2, etc.).

• Security of space relays and interplanetary missions

• Security Policies for space

• Security assurance, accreditation, and certification
• Software security for Space Systems.

Prospective authors are invited to submit high-quality papers reporting original results under the broad theme of security space systems, and in all areas identified above. Best Conference Papers and Best Student Papers will be awarded.

We welcome Academia, Industry and other submissions on the aforementioned topics (submitted papers should not include vendor pitch though; for demonstrating commercial innovations, products and capabilities, please use the exhibition).
