SUMMARY:Trust And Truth In Space Situational Awareness
DESCRIPTION:Title: Trust And Truth In Space Situational Awareness\n\nDescri
 ption:\nSpace Situational Awareness Data (SSA) is the lifeblood of respons
 ible spaceflight. With tens of thousands of debris objects in orbit\, know
 ing where and when collisions may occur is key to preventing lasting envir
 onmental harm. However\, SSA data collection is inordinately complex\, cre
 ating natural incentives for centralized information sharing. When actors 
 lack the capability to independently monitor the state of orbit\, they fin
 d themselves forced to trust third parties.\n\nIn this talk\, we consider 
 how a sufficiently motivated attacker might modify SSA repositories to del
 iberately conceal or falsify collision projections to influence the behavi
 ors of satellite owners. In addition to a high-level discussion of the rel
 evant threat model\, we will present simulated implementations of these at
 tacks. We will also briefly consider various mitigation techniques which c
 an be employed by both SSA operators and data recipients against such atta
 cks.\n\nThis talk will touch on basic principles of orbital dynamics and s
 paceflight operations but assumes no prior background in physics. It is in
 tended to serve as starting point for those interested in how the physical
  dynamics of outer space can manifest as unique security challenges.\n\nTh
 is event will be coordinated on the DEF CON Discord server\, in channel #a
 v-space-text.\n\n=====\n\nDiscord: https://discord.com/channels/7082082676
