“…In recent years, there has been increasing data rate demand for Internet connectivity everywhere, as an essential part of next-generation satellite optical communications, many IM/DD or coherent free-space optical (FSO) or laser techniques have been proposed and introduced in satellite networks induced by time-varying topology, intermittent intersatellite link and dramatically increased satellite constellation size. The opportunities and challenges of the satellite optical communication systems [37][38][39][40] are combined with traditional terrestrial transmission schemes into the envisaged SpaceNets systems.…”

“…Also, ref. [35] presents an approach for eavesdropping on optical communications between LEO satellites and High-Altitude Platform Stations (HAPSs), focusing on both downlink and uplink transmissions. It investigates the secrecy performance of these communications, particularly under scenarios where an eavesdropping spacecraft is positioned close to the satellite within its optical beam's convergence area.…”

“…This system is tailored for high bit-rates of up to 400 Gbps and is capable of significant coverage across various orbits, including LEO, MEO, and GEO. Also, a high-speed inter-satellite optical wireless communication system was designed in [35]. The research on free-space optical communication make it inherently more secure against eavesdropping compared to traditional RF communication.…”

In recent years, satellite communication systems (SCSs) have rapidly developed in terms of their role and capabilities, promoted by advancements in space launch technologies. However, this rapid development has also led to the emergence of significant security vulnerabilities, demonstrated through real-world targeted attacks such as AcidRain and AcidPour that demand immediate attention from the security community. In response, various countermeasures, encompassing both technological and policy-based approaches, have been proposed to mitigate these threats. However, the multitude and diversity of these proposals make their comparison complex, requiring a systemized view of the landscape. In this paper, we systematically categorize and analyze both attacks and defenses within the framework of confidentiality, integrity, and availability, focusing on specific threats that pose substantial risks to SCSs. Furthermore, we evaluate existing countermeasures against potential threats in SCS environments and offer insights into the security policies of different nations, recognizing the strategic importance of satellite communications as a national asset. Finally, we present prospective security challenges and solutions for future SCSs, including full quantum communication, AI-integrated SCSs, and standardized protocols for the next generation of terrestrial–space communication.

Recent trends in emerging applications have motivated researchers to design advanced wireless systems to meet their evolving requirements. These emerging applications include digital healthcare, intelligent transportation systems, Industry 5.0, and more. To address the evolving requirements, leveraging a metaverse to empower $6$G wireless systems is a viable solution. A metaverse-empowered $6$G wireless system can offer numerous benefits, but it may also be vulnerable to a wide variety of security attacks. In this survey, we discuss potential security attacks in metaverse-empowered $6$G wireless systems. We introduce an architecture designed to enhance security within metaverse-empowered $6$G wireless systems. This architecture comprises two key spaces: the meta space and the physical space. We present physical space attacks and outline effective solutions to secure metaverse-empowered $6$G wireless systems. We provide invaluable insights and discussions on meta space attacks, along with promising solutions. Finally, we discuss open challenges and provide future recommendations.
