Abstract

The present disclosure provides an authentication method for a satellite-based navigation system that in some implementations includes: obtaining, by an authentication server, a plurality of message authentication bundles from a plurality of reference receiver stations, each message authentication bundle comprising at least one hash for authenticating a corresponding SNS message received by a respective reference receiver station from at least one satellite of the SNS; inserting, by the authentication server at least a subset of the hashes of the obtained message authentication bundles into a probabilistic data structure (PDS), which forms at least a part of a validation filter for authenticating a corresponding subset of SNS messages; and distributing the validation filter to at least one receiver-side device. The disclosure further provides authentication methods performed by a reference receiver station and a receiver-side device, respectively, as well as devices and systems for authenticating SNS messages.
