An adversary attempts to deceive a GPS receiver by broadcasting counterfeit GPS signals, structured to resemble a set of normal GPS signals. These spoofed signals may be structured in such a way as to cause the receiver to estimate its position to be somewhere other than where it actually is, or to be located where it is but at a different time, as determined by the adversary.
Attack Prerequisites
The target must be relying on valid GPS signal to perform critical operations.
Typical Severity
High
Typical Likelihood of Exploit
Likelihood: Low
Spoofing GPS signals and having a target receiver use them is not a trivial task.
