CCSDS 350.0-G-3 - Space Communications Security (Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems)
The Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems (CCSDS) 350.0-G-3 (The Application of Security to CCSDS Protocols) provides security guidance for space mission communications. CCSDS is the international standardisation body for space data systems with all major space agencies as members (NASA, ESA, JAXA, ROSCOSMOS, etc.). The security framework covers authentication, encryption, and access control for space-ground communications, telemetry, telecommand, and space data links. Key standards include CCSDS 352.0-B (Space Data Link Security Protocol) and CCSDS 355.0-B (Space Missions Key Management). Applicable to all civilian and scientific space missions.
CCSDS 350.0-G-3 - Space Communications Security (Consultative Committee for Space Data Systems) is a compliance framework from International (CCSDS — 11 member agencies) with 5 domains and 17 controls that map to 10 other frameworks. The largest domains are CCSDS 350.0-G-3: Security Implementation Options (5 controls), CCSDS 350.0-G-3: Security Mechanisms (5 controls), CCSDS 350.0-G-3: Space Security Concepts (3 controls). Every control below carries what it requires and what an assessor expects to see.
