Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of low-orbit satellite communications, and in particular to an identity authentication networking method between a low-orbit satellite and a ground control center. Background Art

[0002] The low-orbit satellite network is networked by launching a certain scale of low-orbit satellites to build a space communication system with real-time signal processing capabilities, which can provide access and other communication services to ground and air terminals. However, since satellites operate in an open outer space environment, the physical distance between satellites and between satellites and the ground is far, and the communication links are highly open, which makes the low-orbit broadband satellite network extremely vulnerable to various network attacks and security threats.

[0003] Due to the high openness of satellite-to-ground and intersatellite links, attackers can easily monitor and intercept conversation data between satellites and ground control centers. This may not only lead to the leakage of sensitive information, but also enable attackers to obtain satellite node operation information and confidential data through replay attacks, man-in-the-middle attacks or entity impersonation, thereby damaging the entire satellite network.

[0004] The present invention proposes an identity authentication networking method suitable for low-orbit satellites and ground control centers. The method realizes two-way authentication between low-orbit broadband satellites and ground control centers through a pre-shared key based on a symmetric cryptographic mechanism, and adopts a challenge-response method to ensure the security and efficiency of the authentication process. At the same time, the present invention also proposes a key switching scheme, which provides a strong guarantee for key switching through a strict switching timing process, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the low-orbit satellite network. Compared with the prior art, the present method can realize an efficient identity authentication process while ensuring security, and has strong autonomy and flexibility to cope with potential risks such as single point failures. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to propose a 5G-AKA improved protocol access authentication method that is resistant to link attacks, uses random number dynamic filling technology to ensure the length consistency of user identities during transmission, and resists link attacks based on identity length differences.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: an identity authentication networking method between a low-orbit satellite and a ground control center, comprising the following steps:

[0007] Step 1: Initialize the system before the satellite is launched, preset the key between the ground-based node and the low-orbit broadband satellite, and generate and distribute the relevant information required in the authentication process;

[0008] Step 2: Satellite-ground networking authentication: The low-orbit broadband satellite obtains the timestamp, calculates the temporary identity and sends it to the ground gateway station. The ground gateway station encrypts it twice and sends it to the satellite networking authentication system. The satellite networking authentication system verifies the legitimacy of the temporary identity. The ground gateway station encrypts the data and sends it to the low-orbit broadband satellite. The low-orbit broadband satellite verifies the freshness and legitimacy of the authentication data. The ground gateway station encrypts the data and sends it to the satellite networking authentication system. The satellite networking authentication simulation system compares RES and XRES to determine whether the authentication is passed;

[0009] Step 3: Set the flag Tag to indicate the key encryption status of the data packet.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the relevant information in step 1 includes: the identity information ID of the low-orbit broadband satellite sat , encryption key DK enc , Authentication key DK auth , Pre-made work encryption key Work enc and the anonymous identity key K.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the satellite-to-ground networking authentication in step 2 specifically includes the following steps:

[0012] Step 2.1: The low-orbit broadband satellite uses the onboard clock to obtain the current time, calculate the timestamp T, and calculate the temporary identity ID based on the obtained timestamp T and the preset identity protection key K corresponding to the ground satellite networking authentication system. temp =f(K,T∥ID sat ) is used for this network authentication and then sent to the ground gateway station;

[0013] Step 2.2: After receiving the authentication request from the low-orbit broadband satellite, the ground gateway station calls the cipher machine to re-encrypt the authentication data and then sends it to the satellite networking authentication system;

[0014] Step 2.3: After receiving the authentication request from the ground gateway station, the satellite networking authentication system decrypts the original data sent by the low-orbit satellite and authenticates the temporary identity ID. temp Perform legality verification, and proceed to step 2.4 after passing the verification;

[0015] Step 2.4: The satellite networking authentication system selects a set of DKs corresponding to the satellite ID obtained. enc And generate session key SEK, SEK = DK enc ⊕DK auth , generate challenge random number R, initialization vector IV, timestamp T Au And the network authentication system device number SID, apply to the key management system to obtain the work authentication key WKauth , construct plaintext data msg = IV∥T Au ∥R∥SID∥WK auth , calculate the ciphertext cipher = Enc SEK (IV, msg) and message check code MAC = H SEK (IV, msg), and combine the obtained authentication parameters into authentication data Au = IV | cipher | MAC, and calculate the expected authentication response XRES = f RES (DK enc ⊕DK auth ,R);

[0016] Step 2.5: After the calculation is completed, the satellite networking authentication system stores the session key SEK and the expected authentication response XRES locally and the working authentication key WK auth Encrypt and send to the cipher machine, and encrypt the authentication data Au and send it back to the ground gateway station;

[0017] Step 2.6: The ground gateway receives the response from the satellite networking authentication system, decrypts the data using the local symmetric key, calls the cipher machine to encrypt using the current working encryption key, and then sends it to the low-orbit broadband satellite;

[0018] Step 2.7: After receiving the response from the ground gateway, the low-orbit broadband satellite decrypts according to the indicated decryption algorithm. After obtaining the authentication data Au and the challenge random number R, the low-orbit broadband satellite needs to verify the freshness and legitimacy of the authentication data. After the verification is passed, it proceeds to step 2.8;

[0019] Step 2.8: After authentication, the low-orbit broadband satellite uses the onboard clock to generate a timestamp T RES , calculate RES, and set the timestamp T RES and RES are returned to the ground gateway station;

[0020] Step 2.9: After receiving the message from the low-orbit broadband satellite, the ground gateway station calls the cipher machine for decryption, encrypts the data using the local encryption key, and sends it to the satellite networking authentication system;

[0021] Step 2.10: The satellite networking authentication simulation system receives the RES from the requesting party's low-orbit broadband satellite within the specified time, verifies the timestamp, and compares whether RES and XRES are equal. If they are equal, the authentication is passed; otherwise, the authentication is terminated and the connection is released.

[0022] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the legitimacy verification in step 2.3 is as follows:

[0023] The satellite networking authentication system uses the preset identity protection key K to authenticate the temporary identity IDtemp Decrypt and verify whether the obtained timestamp T meets the freshness requirement, and the decrypted ID sat Whether it is a legal satellite, only if all the conditions are met can the subsequent process continue.

[0024] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the verification method of freshness and legality in step 2.7 is:

[0026] The low-orbit broadband satellite extracts and calculates the MAC in Au, uses the agreed algorithm to calculate the message check code MAC, and compares whether the two are equal. If they are equal, it is determined that the message is legal and continues to execute the subsequent authentication process.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the key encryption state of the data packet in step 3 specifically includes:

[0028] “00” indicates normal encryption status;

[0029] "01" indicates that there is a need to switch the key. The data packet has been encrypted with the new key and needs to be decrypted with the new key.

[0031] "Key injection" means injecting a new working key into the low-orbit broadband satellite and the cipher machine. During this period, the key encryption status of the data packet on the satellite-to-ground link is "00";

[0032] The "key transition period" is the time period for key transition, which is divided into transition period I and transition period II. In transition period I, the key encryption state of the data packet is "01", and in transition period II, the key encryption state of the data packet is "10". The dividing point between transition periods I and II is the key switching moment.

[0033] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, during the key injection period, the satellite networking authentication system pushes the key switching time and the new working key to the ground cryptographic machine and the low-orbit broadband satellite, and the ground cryptographic machine and the low-orbit broadband satellite maintain the new and old versions of the key to prepare for the key switching;

[0034] After the new key is pushed, it enters transition period I. The ground gateway station sets the tag of the data packet sent to the satellite to "01", indicating that the working key is about to switch. During this period, there are two types of encrypted data packets transmitted on the satellite-to-ground link. One part of the data packets is encrypted with the old key, and the other part is encrypted with the new key.

The flag bit of all data packets sent to the satellite is set to "10", and the data is encrypted with the new key. When the low-orbit broadband satellite detects that the flag bit is "10", the new key will be used for decryption.
