What is it about?

It proposes embedding a digital signature within a standard (1090-MHz) ADS-B message for enhanced security. The signature is transmitted within the phase of the signal, as the ADS-B message only employ its amplitude.

Why is it important?

It solves many of the ADS-B security concerns, while being backwards compatible with existing equipment.

Perspectives

This is the only single-message solution that allows a single receiver authenticate an ADS-B message. Managing encryption keys can be challenging, though. Other works are devoted to that.
