Workshop Title:

Another Place, another Time - GPS threats and countermeasures

Abstract:

As of today, modern life heavily relies on Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) - public named GPS. Everyone uses GPS in mobile phones, cars, tracking of goods etc. But it is also used for time synchronization in many businesses like the power grid, stock exchange, and others. In this talk, I want to show current possibilities in manipulating the GNSS signal in several areas, what are the threats are in this and what we can do to avoid this threat.
