[CESG] [EXTERNAL] CYSAT 2024 - tutorial on CCSDS SDLS protocols

Wed Feb 7 07:17:28 UTC 2024

Thank you for your kind e-mail and the supporting material, Peter.

About CYSAT, I believe Mathieu Bailly (promoter from CYSEC) is very enthusiastic about the whole subject. I got to know him before COVID when he approached ESA to enter the space business. However, not sure I would make the claims he makes about the size and importance of the event 😊. His target audience is mainly ‘new space’. My main goals are to continue raising awareness on space system security and promote CCSDS standards.

About the NIST document, I have been using and recommending it, already in its initial version a few years ago. For me it is probably right now one of the best references out there to assist system security engineers. It might not be perfect, but I do not know of any other reference at a similar level on the subject.

Kind regards,

Ignacio

Hi Ignacio,

Congratulations on getting their attention and being invited to give a tutorial.  I think this is a great opportunity for you and for CCSDS.  According to their site the focus is “CYSAT is the biggest worldwide event entirely dedicated to cybersecurity for commercial space applications.”  I’m assuming that largely means near Earth and commercial, but maybe there is room to squeeze in civilian space, exploration, and looking out to the Moon?

There’s a new-ish NIST standard, NIST SP800-160-v1r1, “Engineering Trustworthy Secure Systems” (https://doi.org/10.6028/NIST.SP.800-160v1r1).  After reading it I believed that they had missed some important points relating to all of the different viewpoints where cybersecurity needed to be addressed in architecting these systems.  I created a PPT file based on our recent RASDS work, attached here, that I sent to the lead author, Mark Winstead.   He agreed that these materials offered some value and would be considered in an update.  I’m attaching it here for your consideration since it provides a view of the environment within which SDLS has a direct role.

Look for the main relevant viewpoints: functional, information, connectivity, protocol, and enterprise (pgs 14, 19, 25, 30, and 35) and then look for the security topics pages associated with each viewpoint (pgs 17, 22, 28, 33, and 38).

This may be of use (or not), but it is free of charge.  ;-}

Cheers, Peter

Dear colleagues,

I would like to inform you that following a kind invitation from the CYSAT organisers (https://cysat.eu/about/<https://urldefense.us/v3/__https:/cysat.eu/about/__;!!PvBDto6Hs4WbVuu7!MFdY_7zt_-izCb23JScggshu5yLKKJvEoOABblY3PvVKxwU6JkF2KGgWuYjpsXXi-GAXx6sGSvAoLFkp_QfLFP39oKw$>), I will be giving a tutorial on CCSDS SDLS protocols at their 2024 event.

https://cysat.eu/cysat-academy/<https://urldefense.us/v3/__https:/cysat.eu/cysat-academy/__;!!PvBDto6Hs4WbVuu7!MFdY_7zt_-izCb23JScggshu5yLKKJvEoOABblY3PvVKxwU6JkF2KGgWuYjpsXXi-GAXx6sGSvAoLFkp_QfLGU7bAWY$>

This year CYSAT is also taking place in the US: https://cysat.eu/cysat-usa/<https://urldefense.us/v3/__https:/cysat.eu/cysat-usa/__;!!PvBDto6Hs4WbVuu7!MFdY_7zt_-izCb23JScggshu5yLKKJvEoOABblY3PvVKxwU6JkF2KGgWuYjpsXXi-GAXx6sGSvAoLFkp_QfLKXL4xjg$>
