| Abstract | Intentional interference such as spoofing is an emerging threat to GPS receivers used in both civilian and defense applications. With the majority of smartphones relying on GPS for positioning and navigation, the vulnerability of these phones to spoofing attacks is an issue of security concern. In this paper, it is demonstrated that is easy to successfully spoof a smartphone using a simplistic spoofing technique. A spoofing signal is generated using open-source signal simulator and transmitted using a low-cost SDR. In view of the tremendously increasing usage of GPS enabled smartphones, it is necessary to develop suitable countermeasures for spoofing. This work carries significance as it would help in understanding the effects of spoofing at various levels of signal processing in the receiver and develop advanced spoofing detection and mitigation techniques. |
