ZK-Trace: Certified Collusion Tracing with Zero-Knowledge Credentials for Federated GNSS Interference Monitoring

ZK-Trace combines Tardos fingerprints and zero-knowledge credentials to trace leaked classifier copies in federated GNSS monitoring without leaker cooperation.

ZK-Trace addresses leakage of a proprietary classifier distributed to partly trusted stations in federated GNSS interference monitoring, combining public identity marks, recipient-specific Tardos fingerprints, and zero-knowledge credential verification to support offline tracing. The paper provides false-accusation and tracing-score bounds with an interval-arithmetic checker allocating a common budget across accusation and tamper decisions. In a simulated GNSS federation it isolates all 160 single-owner copies and traces 712 of 720 two-owner mixtures with a 0.001 false-naming budget, while feature marks survive feature matching in 20/20 runs at 4.8 percentage-point accuracy cost but are erased by function-only distillation.

First Galileo SAS Authenticated Time Solution

Researchers demonstrate the first timing solution computed from Galileo's new Signal Authentication Service, protecting receivers against GNSS spoofing.

Galileo's new Signal Authentication Service (SAS) on the E6-C signal directly authenticates ranging measurements, closing a gap left by OSNMA, which only protects navigation data. Researchers built a snapshot software receiver implementing a simplified SAS protocol and computed an authenticated receiver clock bias from recordings of both SAS-capable satellites, collected with a Septentrio SDR prototype. The results demonstrate feasible authenticated timing ahead of full SAS operational deployment.
