Q: What is navigation message authentication?
A: As of today, all open civil GNSS signals are transmitted in the clear, conforming to interface specifications that are fully available in the public domain. Receivers will accept any input that conforms to the specifications and treat it as if it came from a GNSS satellite. Combined with the extremely low power levels of GNSS signals this makes it almost trivially simple to spoof a GNSS receiver.

Multipath is a major phenomenon that degrades the integrity of GNSS-based navigation services. Under multipath, a receiver Delay-Lock Loop (DLL) does not correctly estimate the actual peak of the correlation curve, resulting in ranging errors. To overcome this effect, mitigation techniques have been developed, a detailed discussion of which
