Forensic investigation of GPS spoofing in vehicle navigation systems – Forensically detecting falsified satellite signals
GPS spoofing involves transmitting fake satellite signals to trick a navigation system into displaying a false location, which, in rare cases, may be of forensic relevance – for example, to conceal a vehicle’s actual whereabouts.
Technical discrepancies between several independent location sources for a vehicle may provide evidence of such a tampering scenario.

Our services
We cross-check available location data from several independent vehicle systems and check for technical discrepancies that could indicate GPS spoofing.
Typical areas of application
How a GPS spoofing analysis is carried out
Once the data has been backed up, the available location data from the navigation system, the telematics unit and, where applicable, any connected mobile devices is compared to identify any discrepancies.
Why is GPS spoofing analysis relevant in a forensic context?
Cross-referencing data from several independent location sources increases the likelihood of detecting targeted manipulation of individual systems.
GPS spoofing in civilian vehicle systems is technically challenging and relatively rare, which is why any such suspicion is investigated with particular care.
