 avur \, Digital Service Expert\, Defense Digital\n   Service\n   Dr. James
  Pavur is a Digital Service Expert at the DoD Directorate of\n   Digital S
 ervices where he advises and assists the US Department of\n   Defense in i
 mplementing modern digital solutions to urgent and novel\n   challenges. P
 rior to joining DDS\, James received his PhD. from Oxford\n   Universityâ€
 ™s Department of Computer Science as a Rhodes Scholar. His\n   thesis “S
 ecuring New Space: On Satellite Cybersecurity” focused on\n   the securi
 ty of modern space platforms - with a particular interest in\n   vulnerabi
 lity identification and remediation. His previous research on\n   satellit
 e security has been published at top academic venues\, such as\n   IEEE S&
 P and NDSS\, presented at major cybersecurity conferences\,\n   including 
 Black Hat USA and DEFCON\, and covered in the popular press.\n   Outside o
 f tech\, James enjoys flying kites and collecting rare and\n   interesting
  teas.\n   Twitter: [2]@jamespavur\n\n   Description:\n   Satellite design
 s are myriad as stars in the sky\, but one common\n   denominator across a
 ll modern missions is their dependency on\n   long-distance radio links. I
 n this briefing\, we will turn a hacker’s\n   eye towards the signals th
 at are the lifeblood of space missions.\n   We’ll learn how both state a
 nd non-state actors can\, and have\,\n   executed physical-layer attacks o
 n satellite communications systems\n   and what their motivations have bee
 n for causing such disruption.\n\n   Building on this foundation\, we’ll
  present modern evolutions of\n   these attack strategies which can threat
 en next-generation space\n   missions. From jamming\, to spoofing\, to sig
 nal hijacking\, we’ll see\n   how radio links represent a key attack sur
 face for space platforms and\n   how technological developments make these
  attacks ever more accessible\n   and affordable. We’ll simulate strateg
 ies attackers may use to cause\n   disruption in key space communications 
 links and even model attacks\n   which may undermine critical safety contr
 ols involved in rocket\n   launches.\n\n   The presentation will conclude 
 with a discussion of strategies which\n   can defend against many of these
  attacks.\n\n   While this talk includes technical components\, it is inte
 nded to be\n   accessible to all audiences and does not assume any prior b
 ackground\n   in radio communications\, astrodynamics\, or aerospace engin
 eering. The\n   hope is to provide a launchpad for researchers across the 
 security\n   community to contribute to protecting critical infrastructure
  in space\n   and beyond.\n\n   '\n\n   1. https://defcon.outel.org/consol
