Research abstract
NKrypt will develop a prototype mesh network cryptographic solution for Optical Intersatellite Links (OISL) in low earth orbit (LEO) incorporating significant low size, weight and power (SWaP). The NKrypt solution in Phase I provided the architecture for an automated initial encryption handshake using NSA approved public key encryption, maintaining encryption links, and encrypting/decrypting data with a throughput of 50 Gbps per channel (minimum of 6 channels). Phase II culminates with a benchtop demonstration of NKrypt's prototype encryption device.
