Low orbit satellite communication systems are an integral part of the promising projects that the Russian Federation is implementing to develop the coast of the Arctic Ocean. The strategic development of the Northern Sea Route, the formation and deployment of rapid reaction forces that ensure the protection and protection of the country's territorial integrity in the Arctic, the development of gas and oil reserves located on the shelf of the Arctic Ocean is possible only through the use of low orbit satellite communication systems. This is due to the ability of low-orbit satellites to provide uninterrupted and stable communication with objects located beyond the Arctic Circle. Currently, as the development of the Far North, there is a tendency to increase the number of groups of low-orbit spacecraft. As a result, a situation may arise when an alien intruder satellite, once in the receiver's visibility zone, will try to impose relay interference. One of the effective ways to counter the imposition of spoofing interference is to use the "friend or foe" system to identify the satellite. To increase the imitation resistance of the spacecraft identification system, it is proposed to use the zeroknowledge authentication method implemented in a modular code. In this case, due to parallel data processing, the time required to check the transponder signal located on board the spacecraft is reduced. This leads to a decrease in the probability of selecting the correct transponder signal by the intruder satellite. A further increase in the imitation resistance of the low orbit satellite communication systems is possible due to the pseudo-random replacement of the generating elements of the multiplicative group in the course of calculations. Therefore, the development of a satellite authentication method implemented in a modular code with pseudo-random replacement of generating elements is an urgent task. The purpose of the work is to increase the resistance of the low orbit satellite communication systems to spoofing interference by using the "friend or foe" system using the developed authentication method.

Key words: low-orbit satellite communication system, imitation resistance, zero-knowledge authentication method, modular code, element that generates a multiplicative group
