Abstract :
The cryptographic key management center is the place where all the cryptographical protocols and related keys are in action. Traditionally the key management centers operate on the ground. However; with the satellites, it is possible to conceive a space based key management center. This paper underlines the pros and cons of having a satellite networks key management center.
