As the security of global navigation satellite systems (GNSSs) for civilian usage is increasingly important, navigation message authentication (NMA) significantly improves resilience to spoofing attacks. However, not all attacks can be effectively countered: a strong variant of replay/relay attacks, distance-decreasing (DD) attacks, can shorten pseudorange measurements, without manipulating the cryptographically protected navigation message, thus manipulating the position, velocity, and time solution undetected. First, we discuss how DD attacks can tamper with GNSS signals, demonstrating the attack effectiveness on a recorded Galileo signal. DD attacks might introduce bit errors to the forged signals, but the adversary can keep this error rate very low with proper attack parameter settings. Then, based on our mathematical model of the prompt correlator output of the tracking phase at the victim receiver, we find that the correlator output distribution changes in the presence of DD attacks. This leads us to apply hypothesis testing to detect DD attacks, notably a goodness-of-fit (GoF) test and a generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT), depending on the victim’s knowledge on the DD attacks. Monte Carlo simulations are used to evaluate the detection probability and the receiver operating characteristic curves for two tests, for different adversary configuration and noise settings. Then, we evaluate the effectiveness of the GoF test and the GLRT with a synthesized DD signal. Both tests can detect DD attacks with similar performance in high-signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) environments. The GLRT detection probability is approximately 20% higher than that of the GoF test in low-SNR environments.
