REPLAY: Geopolitical Issues of GPS-AIS Spoofing and Jamming

Recent world events have raised public awareness of the importance of satellite-based systems ('Insecure by necessity' might be a fitting descriptor) so we are bringing back this timely gem from our vaults. Whether you use GPS or AIS directly or not, you and your organization depend on it more than you know.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is the most widely-used global navigation satellite system. GPS provide much more than navigation services and telling you where you are; it is also essential for the timing of the digital networks comprising the critical infrastructures essential to our way of life. The Automatic Identification System (AIS) is essential for the situational awareness of vessels at sea and management by maritime authorities and regulators. Both GPS and AIS are subject to attacks spoofing or jamming their signals. This talk will discuss reasons why these attacks are occurring and the geopolitical implications.
