In the joint ARTES 5.1 project for the ESA, Magister Solutions and VTT designed a multicast security framework and architecture on top of an interactive multi-spot beam satellite network.
The considered satellite system assumes a multi-spot beam geostationary (GEO) satellite network with a transparent ‘bent-pipe’ payload and DVB-RCS2 and DVB-S2 specifications. The designed multicast security system is based on the IETF MSEC framework, which consists of IPSec with Multicast enhancements and Group Domain of Interpretation (GDOI) group key management protocol.
In this project, Magister focused on designing and developing an end-to-end real-time demonstrator for validating, verifying and demonstrating the multicast security solution and potential enhancements needed for satellite system. Three application use cases were considered: IP-TV, collaborative working and Internet of Things (IoT).
