AIS Transmission Data Quality: Identification of Attack Vectors. 2019 International Symposium ELMAR. :187—190.
.
2019. Due to safety concerns and legislation implemented by various governments, the maritime sector adopted Automatic Identification System (AIS). Whilst governments and state agencies have an increasing reliance on AIS data, the underlying technology can be found to be fundamentally insecure. This study identifies and describes a number of potential attack vectors and suggests conceptual countermeasures to mitigate such attacks. With interception by Navy and Coast Guard as well as marine navigation and obstacle avoidance, the vulnerabilities within AIS call into question the multiple deployed overlapping AIS networks, and what the future holds for the protocol.
