A CRYPTOGRAPHIC FLOW-BASED SECURITY PROTOCOL FOR AEROSPACE COMMUNICATION

Abstract

A satellite receives, from a ground station, multiple first commands out-or-order for replicating a conflict-free replicated dataset at the satellite. An authority to access the conflict-free replicated dataset is retrievable from a block of a blockchain. The multiple first commands are reordered based on an ordering specified by a causal tree received from the ground station. A global state of the conflict-free replicated dataset is replicated locally at the satellite based on the multiple first commands reordered in accordance with the causal tree. From the ground station, multiple second commands are received for performing operations on the conflict-free replicated dataset. The operations are performed on the conflict-free replicated dataset, using the multiple second commands, based on the authority retrieved from the blockchain.
