Abstract

Due to rapid increase of GNSS functions usage for civilian applications, it is fact that it has some security concern and threatened by variety of attacks, the signals which are given by GNSS are very low power, and hence, the interference may takes place, it will effect on usage, also accuracy will decrease, and the important concern is “spoofing attack” in GNSS, and also it divides GNSS output signals, by the aim of putting receivers control of a receiver also make by calculating its time place and position. The wide usage of GNSS for people’s everyday life all aspects of works the integrity and the authenticity is very much concern for satellite navigation signals, the signals are prone to suffer from jamming and spoofing hence it effect on receiver signals and it will impact on cause to position deviation (Humphreys TE, Ledvina BM, Psiaki ML, O'Hanlon BW, Kintner PM (2008) Assessing the spoofing threat: development of a portable GPS civilian spoofer. In: ION GNSS 21st. International technical meeting of the satellite division, pp 2314–2325 [1], Ledvina BM, Bencze WJ, Galusha B, Miller I (2010) An in-line anti-spoofing device for legacy civil GPS receivers. In: Proceedings of the 2010 international technical meeting of the institute of navigation, 25–27 Jan 2010, San Deigo CA, pp 698–712 [2]). Based on the available literature about GNSS spoofing attacks, this article is to analyze various technologies used for anti-spoofing methods and also discuss about strategies which are articulated by various researchers, protection procedures, and implementation schemes of anti-spoofing techniques caused by spoofing attacks which are also analyzed more specifically in different signal level, and therefore, the paper will analyze the performance of various methods for detecting the different types of anti-spoofing techniques.
