Could an attack on time synchronization with a Galileo Satellite be used to spoof navigation messages with TESLA-based authentication?

Posted on by

I read about an attack on the TESLA protocol which will be used in Galileo’s navigation message authentication (Full article can be found here: https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-49806-5_1)
Basically, an attacker delays all messages to make… Continue reading Could an attack on time synchronization with a Galileo Satellite be used to spoof navigation messages with TESLA-based authentication?→

Numerica telescope tracks satellites in broad daylight

Posted on by

Given how many satellites and bits of orbital debris are now orbiting the Earth, it’s becoming increasingly important to keep track of where they all are. A new telescope system allows space agencies and other clients to do so – even in broad daylight…. Continue reading Numerica telescope tracks satellites in broad daylight→

Eavesdropping on Satellites for Fun and Profit

Posted on by

Geosynchronous satellites, girdling the Earth from their perches 36,000 km above the equator, are remarkably useful devices. Depending on where they’re parked, they command views of perhaps a third of the globe at a time, making them perfect communications relays. But as [James Pavur] points out in his DEF CON …read more
