Meeting evolving security requirements like CNSA 2.0 and FIPS 140-3 is becoming a critical challenge for satellite systems, especially when deployments must remain secure for decades with limited ability to update. Design decisions made early in the architecture directly impact certification timelines, long-term security, and system maintainability.

This session focuses on practical approaches to building secure satellite systems. We'll explore how to integrate compliant cryptography, secure boot, and prepare for post-quantum threats without increasing system complexity or delaying deployment.

This session will cover:

- How to approach FIPS 140-3 in satellite systems, including strategies to reduce rework and avoid delays in certification
- How to incorporate CNSA 2.0 and post-quantum cryptography (PQC), including when and how to use hybrid approaches in constrained environments
- How to implement secure boot and firmware update protection for systems that cannot be easily accessed or patched
- How to design scalable key management and a hardware-rooted chain of trust across long-life missions
