Wireless and Satellite Network Security and Privacy

Security and privacy are critical concerns in wireless and satellite communication networks due to their open and distributed nature. This track explores the fundamental security threats affecting communication systems, including eavesdropping, spoofing, jamming, and denial-of-service attacks. Participants will examine security mechanisms across different network layers, such as authentication, encryption, key management, and secure routing. The unique vulnerabilities of satellite links, including wide coverage footprints and long propagation delays, are also discussed.

The track further addresses privacy preservation and trust management in heterogeneous wireless and satellite environments. Emerging solutions such as secure virtualization, blockchain-based authentication, and AI-driven threat detection are explored. Case studies from cellular, IoT, and satellite systems illustrate practical security implementations. By addressing both theoretical and applied aspects, this track provides participants with a comprehensive understanding of how robust security and privacy frameworks safeguard modern communication infrastructures.
