Origosat provides services for the certification of time and position based on a novel augmentation of the Global Navigation Satellite System (e.g. GPS, GALILEO).Nowadays, malicious "spoofing" acts on GNSS signals can be extremely sophisticated and actually caused the misplacement of the position returned even by high-end receivers, adding risks to the huge set of GNSS applications.Of primary concern is the easiness of using low cost Software Define Radio equipment for imitating or re-transmitting GNSS signals with the goal to defeat them locally.The availability of such low-cost equipment results is an underestimated risk, mainly because currently no adequate countermeasures are in place.Origosat is implementing a portfolio of antispoofing mechanisms which is targeting a large set of applications, including mobile ones, and a patented algorithm is integrating data coming from different sources of information:- The GNSS itself- The ADS-B – the system used by civil aviation for air traffic control- A synchronisation mechanismThe unique combination of the three elements above, or part of them when not contemporary available, provide capabilities to detect the major spoofing acts.The system is already demonstrating – through several proofs of concept – the interest of the food market for a service able to certify the actual date and location of specific events, e.g. packaging. Each product is marked with a specific ORIGOSAT label, a QR code, which allows a consumer to access the certified information, therefore reaching the full awareness of the "Made-in" value. Clearly, the position's certification is the key enabler of the service."Origosat is a cheap and powerful platform for the certification of the time and location, currently deployed for the food market: a producer guarantees the origin of a product directly to the consumers, while giving them the opportunity to get in contact with each other"
