SENTRY

Purpose and goal

Smartphones, vehicles, boats, large machinery, containers, all have global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) receivers to provide position (& time) information to users, drivers, skippers, or logistics systems. However, jamming and spoofing GNSS is getting easier: denying reception or forging GNSS signals to mislead the victim receiver(s) and dictate the victim position (and time). The objective is work towards concrete solutions to detect such attacks and protect systems that rely on GNSS.

Expected effects and result

Enhanced, easy to deploy receivers that detect and mitigate GNSS attacks. Secure and privacy preserving tools to identify affected areas and localise GNSS attackers. Benefit: Fast detection and trustworthy, even if less accurate, position (and time) until the victim is no longer under a GNSS attack. Much improved cyber and physical security and safety.

Planned approach and implementation

Evaluate technology and explore opportunities for deployment, to prevent or reduce the impact of attacks and remove attackers.
