Data from link eavesdropping
Description
Adversaries can collect data transmitted over a channel, if he is able to decode and decrypt the communication. (Citation: SRC017) (Citation: South-West of France) An attacker can collect and have access to data transmitted by TT&C if the communication doesn't rely on encryption. CCSDS SDLS protocol incorporates confidentiality services through encryption of the frame data, that can be used as a mitigation. Adversaries can collect data transmitted over the payload channel if it is used.

T2018 'Data from link eavesdropping' is the direct cross-framework counterpart of EXF-0003 Signal Interception — both describe capturing transmitted data by tapping links.
T2018 'Data from link eavesdropping' is the direct cross-framework counterpart of EXF-0003.02 — both describe collecting data transmitted over the downlink channel.
T2018 'Data from link eavesdropping' covers collecting data transmitted over channels — direct match to IMP-0006's theft of mission-critical data being gathered, processed, and sent from the victim spacecraft.
T2018 'Data from link eavesdropping' is the direct cross-framework counterpart of REC-0005 Eavesdropping at the parent/general level — both describe capturing transmitted data.
