In this article authors present an application of spatial processing methods for GPS spoofing detection and mitigation. In the first part of this article, a spoofing detection method, based on phase delay measurements, is proposed. Accuracy and precision of phase delay estimation is assessed for various qualities of received signal. Spoofing detection thresholds are determined. Efficiency of th...

Due to widespread use of Global Positioning System (GPS) in different applications, the issue of GPS signal interference cancelation is becoming an increasing concern. One of the most important intentional interferences is spoofing signals. An effective interference (delay spoof) reduction method based on adaptive filtering is developed in this paper. The principle of method is using adaptive f...

The theory and practice of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) capture and control via Global Positioning System (GPS) signal spoofing are analyzed and demonstrated. The goal of this work is to explore UAV vulnerability to deceptive GPS signals. Specifically, this paper (1) establishes the necessary conditions for UAV capture via GPS spoofing, and (2) explores the spoofer’s range of possible post-cap...

Phasor Measurement Units (PMU) are playing an increasingly important role in wide-area monitoring and control of power systems. PMUs allow synchronous real-time measurements of voltage, phase angle and frequency from multiple remote locations in the grid, enabled by their ability to align to Global Position System (GPS) clocks. Given that this ability is vulnerable to GPS spoofing attacks, whic...

A novel time synchronization attack (TSA) on wide area monitoring systems in smart grid has been identified in the first part of this paper. A cross layer detection mechanism is proposed to combat TSA in part II of this paper. In the physical layer, we propose a GPS carrier signal noise ratio (C/No) based spoofing detection technique. In addition, a patchmonopole hybrid antenna is applied to re...

Time and position data of mobile devices are trusted without checking by most vendors and developers. We discover a method of GPS spoofing with low-cost SDR devices. The method can be used to alter the location status as well as the time of affected devices, which poses a security threat to location-based services. We also examine other positioning methods used by smart devices (e.g. WiFi) and ...

Spoofing attacks can completely mislead the position solution provided by global navigation satellite systems (GNSS). Recently, several anti-spoofing techniques have been introduced to combat spoofing attacks. However, in most cases the available anti-spoofing techniques are computationally complex or limited to a specific spoofing scenario. This paper provides a low computational complexity ap...
