    You can have a digital signature, so the recievers know it’s legit

        Playing with semantics a little, it can be thought of as the satellite authenticating with the client using the signature as password.

      That still would be easily defeated, they can just copy the signatures

        You can’t copy a signature, since it is different every time the signed content is different. You need to have the correct key in order to make a valid signature.

        If you’ve figured out how to do that, a lot of governments would pay you a lot of money for your solution
