cryptanalysis of Galileo satellite navigation signals

[Steven M. Bellovin]

The EU Galileo navigation satellite uses a set of pseudo-random numbers to
secure access to its data.  Galileo is partially investor-funded; part of
the business model is to sell access to the data.  Some researchers at
Cornell took a different approach -- they cryptanalyzed the algorithm...
Better yet, they got an opinion from their university lawyer that the DMCA
didn't apply.  See http://www.newswise.com/articles/view/521790/?sc=rsla
for details.
