The Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Advanced Multi-Mission Operations System (AMMOS) in partnership with NASA’s Katherine Johnson Independent Verification and Validation (NASA IV&V) Jon McBride Software Testing and Research (JSTAR) laboratory have jointly developed a command encryption capability that provides a software-only encryption solution utilizing the CCSDS Space Data Link Security Protocol. This solution, named Key Management and Cryptography (KMC), incorporates JPL’s encryption service with the JSTAR open-source CryptoLib library, providing a solution for spacecraft command encryption, which is required per NASA standard NASA-STD-1006-A. This paper will focus on its design, usage, and operation for two SmallSat missions, along with its future expanded functionality of end-to-end spacecraft encryption.
