Vulnerability Analysis of Smart Grids to GPS Spoofing

Vulnerability Analysis of Satellite based Synchronized Smart Grids Monitoring Systems

The large scale deployment of Wide-Area Monitoring Systems (WAMSs) could play a strategic role in supporting the evolution of the traditional power systems towards smarter and self healing grids. The correct operation of these synchronized monitoring systems requires a common and accurate timing reference usually provided by satellite based Global Positioning System (GPS). Although, these satel...

Evaluation of the vulnerability of phasor measurement units to GPS spoofing attacks

Results from Global Positioning System (GPS) spoofing tests against Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) are presented, demonstrating that PMUs are vulnerable to spoofing attacks. A GPS spoofer can manipulate PMU time stamps by injecting a counterfeit ensemble of GPS signals into the antenna of the PMU’s time reference receiver. A spoofer-induced timing error of only a few tens of microseconds cause...

Statement on the Vulnerability of Civil Unmanned Aerial Vehicles and Other Systems to Civil Gps Spoofing

SPREE: Spoofing Resistant GPS Receiver

Global Positioning System (GPS) is used ubiquitously in a wide variety of applications ranging from navigation and tracking to modern smart grids and communication networks. However, it has been demonstrated that modern GPS receivers are vulnerable to signal spoofing attacks. For example, today it is possible to change the course of a ship or force a drone to land in an hostile area by simply s...

A Smart Spoofing Face Detector by Display Features Analysis

In this paper, a smart face liveness detector is proposed to prevent the biometric system from being "deceived" by the video or picture of a valid user that the counterfeiter took with a high definition handheld device (e.g., iPad with retina display). By analyzing the characteristics of the display platform and using an expert decision-making core, we can effectively detect whether a spoofing ...
