How Galileo performed its authenticated positioning fix - GPS World
How Galileo performed its authenticated positioning fix News from the European Space Agency (ESA) In a first for any satellite navigation system, Galileo has achieved a positioning fix based on open-service navigation signals carrying authenticated data. Intended as a way to combat malicious spoofing of satnav signals, this authentication testing began at ESA’s Navigation Laboratory — the same site where the very first Galileo positioning fix took place back in 2013. These historic first authenticated signal position, velocity and timing fixes were made using a total of eight Galileo sate...
