In this paper, we investigate security and energy efficiency of multicast communication in cognitive satellite terrestrial networks. To achieve high spectrum efficiency and low interference power transmissions in the cognitive terrestrial network, the rate splitting multiple access scheme (RSMA) is employed to prompt the massive access of the secondary users. In particular, we derive analytical and asymptotic closed-form expressions for secrecy outage probability of the satellite terrestrial network with eavesdropping, interfering, and imperfect channel state information. Hence, a beamforming (BF) scheme based on RSMA for secondary network is proposed to suppress eavesdropping, mitigate interference, and enhance energy efficiency of the proposed system model. Then, we transform non-convex optimization constraints into resoluble problems utilizing Taylor series expansion and successive convex approximation. Finally, simulation results corroborate the above theoretical analysis and highlight the superiority of the designed BF scheme on security and energy efficiency.
