Göktürk National Crypto Subsystem, is implemented by TÜBİTAK Bilgem Informatics and Information Security Advanced Technology Research Center, National Electronics and Cryptology Research Institute (UEKAE)

Crypto subsystem of Göktürk Exploration and Surveillance Satellite Project, which is managed by Defence Industry Undersecretary of National Defence Ministry, is developed by TÜBİTAK Bilgem Informatics and Information Security Advanced Technology Research Center.

UEKAE, which is supplying technology to both internal and other country and organization sources including NATO with the experience of more than 40 years, presents a system that is providing the secure management of the satellite and secure transmission of the high resolution images from satellite to ground stations by taking part in a satellite project for the first time. 

Communication between satellite and mobile and stationary ground stations is supplied over S-Band and X-Band links. In the scope of the project, crypto and key management devices are developed for the security of this communication. In this way, security of commands which are to be sent to satellite and images coming from satellite is ensured. 

Devices that are developed for the secure communication are: 

For ground station, X-Band National Crypto Device

For ground station, S-Band National Crypto Device

Key Management Unit

Key Fill Device

For satellite station, X-Band National Crypto Device

For satellite station, S-Band National Crypto Device

Satellite Key Injector 

Electronic Ground Support Equipment.

UEKAE is an R&D organization which develops information security and electronic system projects needed by strategic public foundations within the country. Besides crypto devices and systems, UEKAE develops many projects in smart card and identity verification systems, electronic certificate management solutions, and electro-optic and laser systems fields.
