  "id": "MLC-T-CYB-004045",
  "term": "spoofing",
  "field": "Cybersecurity",
  "definition": "1. An attempt to gain access to a system by posing as an authorized user. Note: Impersonating, masquerading, piggybacking, and mimicking are forms of spoofing.\n\n2. The deliberate inducement of a user or resource to take incorrect action. Note: Impersonating, masquerading, piggybacking, and mimicking are forms of spoofing.\n\n3. Two classes of spoofing include (1) measurement spoofing: introduces signal or signal delay that cause the target receiver to produce incorrect measurements of time of arrival or frequency of arrival or their rates of change; and (2) data spoofing: introduces incorrect digital data to the target receiver for its use in processing of signals and the calculation of PNT.\n\n4. Within the context of this document, spoofing includes manipulation of legitimate GNSS signals with intent to corrupt PNT data or signal measurement integrity. For example, it includes, but is not limited to: the transmission of delayed or false GNSS signals with intent to manipulate an asset’s computed position or time and frequency.",
