Advances in Satellite Navigation Technology Important for the Global Shipping Sector
Anti-Jamming and Anti-Spoofing Crucial to Cyber Security
BELGIUM – WORLDWIDE – Leuven headquartered Septentrio, which specialises in high-precision Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) positioning solutions, announced today that its receiver has successfully authenticated navigation data of the first OSNMA encrypted GNSS satellite signal. OSNMA (Open Service Navigation Message Authentication) offers end-to-end authentication on a civilian signal, protecting receivers from spoofing attacks.
OSNMA is being pioneered by the Galileo Programme, with Septentrio providing a test bed for this technology from the end-user point of view. GNSS include such as the American GPS, European Galileo, Russian GLONASS, Chinese BeiDou, Japan’s QZSS and India’s NavIC. These satellite constellations broadcast positioning information to receivers which use it to calculate their absolute position and can
