Galileo demonstrates spoof-proof encrypted position fix

Galileo, the European Union's satellite navigation system and alternative to American GPS, has demonstrated its first cryptographically authenticated position fix while under active spoofing attacks. The achievement means receivers could verify that a location signal genuinely comes from the satellite constellation rather than an imposter. It matters because GPS spoofing is a growing threat to aviation, shipping and critical infrastructure, and Galileo's OSNMA-style encryption offers a defence other systems lack.
Why now: Rising GPS jamming and spoofing incidents make a working cryptographic anti-spoofing demonstration timely and significant
