A key Management Scheme for Access Control to GNSS Services

Abstract

Conditional access is a challenging problem in GNSS scenarios. Most key management schemes present in literature can not cope with all GNSS related issues, such as extremely low bandwidth, stateless receivers and the absence of an aiding channel. After assessing existing techniques, a novel key management scheme called RevHash has been devised with particular emphasis on guaranteeing revocation capabilities to the system, in order for it to be robust against anomalies and attacks
