Blockchain-Based Fine-Grained Access Control for Space Resource Sharing and Management

With the expansion of space-based observation and exploration initiatives, the necessity for secure and efficient data exchange among interconnected space resources has become more critical. This encompasses sharing information about material characteristics, geographic positioning, and the availability of resources, all of which are integral to cybersecurity measures in the space sector. This paper analyzes these challenges in-depth, focusing on developing a robust framework for secure information exchange. To address these challenges, we explore implementing advanced technologies, such as permissioned blockchain systems. Our approach aims to enhance data communication’s security, efficiency, and reliability in the space industry, making it a valuable contribution to space resource management and cybersecurity. This work is particularly relevant for organizations engaged in collaborative space missions and those handling sensitive data, offering a novel perspective on protecting critical information in the evolving landscape of space exploration and observation.
