I think it is less important to worry about technology that can't be hacked and more important to devise a scheme to locate the source of an interferer be it deliberate or accidental. With a bent pipe transponder scheme, if there are two or more satellites having overlapping footprint, you can monitor the downlink of each satellite and derive a time of arrival fix from each. Do some trig and get a fix on the possible locations. I am sure this is exactly what the DOD is doing to locate these pirates.
