Abstract :
This paper explores effective algorithms for managing the distributed processing and secure data transfer environment present within the network of satellite nodes using advanced mathematical techniques based on encryption methods. Security is enhanced via encryption techniques based on keys, which are based on unique properties of the individual nodes within the network. This will serve both to encrypt data within the network as well as to validate the initiator node of a message
