Sec-GNN-Driven Joint Multidimensional Anti-Eavesdropping Optimization for Secure UAV-Satellite Communications

Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) satellite Internet of Things (IoT) networks face severe physical-layer security challenges in the presence of eavesdroppers. To address this issue, this paper proposes a secure graph neural network (Sec-GNN) based multi-dimensional anti-eavesdropping optimization method. The approach models the node-spatial relationships among the UAV, legitimate users, and eavesdroppers as a graph structure. By leveraging the message-passing mechanism of graph neural networks—sequently performing message generation, message aggregation, and node update—it dynamically integrates network topology information and node interaction features. This enables end-to-end joint optimization of the UAV’s three-dimensional position, beamforming vectors, and multi-user power allocation strategies. The method does not rely on explicit channel state information and directly generates near-optimal resource allocation schemes based on node location information and observable signal features. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of Sec-GNN across various scenarios, and ablation studies confirm that partial optimization leads to significant performance degradation, thereby verifying the necessity of multi-dimensional joint design. The proposed framework provides an efficient and scalable solution for secure resource management in dynamic space-air-ground integrated networks.
