Abstract: In satellite networks, covert communication technology can provide high-level communication security for ubiquitous information transmission. To this end, this paper provides a systematic overview of covert communications in satellite communication networks. Firstly, this paper briefly introduces the satellite communication network architecture, typical satellite covert communication scenarios, fundamental covert communication model as well as satellite communication network model and covert performance metrics. Then, the latest progress in existing covert communication research is reviewed from different aspects of information encoding, waveform design, and transmission strategies. Finally, several future research directions are provided for satellite covert communications.
