Zusammenfassung:For validation of position, navigation, time (PNT) signals, a hash included in messages with PNT data is used to validate the source of the message without backhaul. Different tags from a hash chain are included in different messages. The receiver is pre-loaded with the root or later trusted hash tag of the chain as created. The hash of any received message may be hashed by the receiver. The result of the hashing will match the pre-loaded or trusted hash tag if the transmitter of the message is a valid source. The PNT data may be validated using a digital signature formed from the PNT data for one or more messages and the hash tag wherein a hash tag of the chain in a subsequently received message is used as the key. The digital signature may be formed from data across multiple messages.
