METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SECURE SHARING OF AERIAL OR SPACE RESOURCES USING MULTILAYER ENCRYPTION AND HOSTED PAYLOADS

Abstract:

A method and system for providing secure aerial or space communications. A general payload and a hosted payload are provided on a vehicle. The hosted payload encrypts a data packet that contains restricted data using a secure key to create an encrypted packet. The general payload encrypts the encrypted packet using a general key to create a multilayer-encrypted packet. The multilayer-encrypted packet is transmitted from the vehicle to a destination.
