Next steps in GNSS Receiver Security Validated with OSNMA Testing
At least three commercial organizations have initiated testing of the Galileo Open Service Navigation Message Authentication (OSNMA) service, concurrently with the European GNSS Agency (GSA) and the European Space Agency (ESA) themselves. Results to date show success. OSNMA offers end-to-end authentication on a civilian signal, protecting receivers from spoofing attacks. OSNMA is pioneered by the Galileo Program. Galileo OSNMA is an authentication mechanism that allows GNSS receivers to verify the authenticity of the information transmitted by the satellite itself making sure that the data th...
