Introducing the New Galileo Authentication Service, OSNMA - Join the Webinar on September 1st
The Galileo Open Service Navigation Message Authentication (OSNMA) is now fully operational. Following its official declaration of Service on 24 July 2025 and the publication of the Service Definition Document (SDD), the time has come to ensure this powerful new capability is understood, adopted, and used.
To support the community in doing just that, a dedicated webinar titled “Introducing the new Galileo authentication service, OSNMA” will take place on 1 September 2025 at 14:00 CEST.
OSNMA marks a significant step forward for users. By providing authentication of Galileo’s Open Service navigation messages, OSNMA allows users to verify that the data received truly comes from Galileo and has not been altered. This helps mitigate risks linked to spoofing – a growing concern as GNSS interference incidents continue to rise globally.
Organised by the European Commission and the European Union Agency for the Space Programme (EUSPA), this webinar is a unique opportunity for receiver manufacturers, application developers, industry stakeholders, integrators, and GNSS professionals to learn more about the OSNMA service, its benefits, and how to implement it.
The event will feature presentations from the European Commission and EUSPA, who will walk participants through the OSNMA service, its relevance in the current context and key elements of the newly released SDD. They will also present the baseline documentation for the implementation of OSNMA in the user receiver.
Importantly, the webinar will also include presentations from developments supported by EUSPA through the Fundamental Elements Programme by leading GNSS receiver manufacturers who have already started implementing OSNMA in their solutions. These real-world use cases will provide insights into implementation processes, integration experiences, and performance results across various applications and sectors.
Whether you are a developer exploring the integration of OSNMA, a service provider looking to offer enhanced GNSS security, or simply curious to discover how Europe is pioneering navigation authentication, this webinar is for you.
Don’t miss the chance to hear directly from the experts and stakeholders shaping the future of GNSS security.
Save the date: 1 September 2025 at 14:00 CEST - and join us in bringing secure navigation to users worldwide.
About Galileo
Galileo, the EU´s Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), provides improved navigation, positioning and timing information. More than 4 billion users are already benefitting from Galileo.
The Galileo Programme is owned by the EU. The European Commission, as the Programme Manager, oversees the implementation of all activities. EUSPA is responsible for the operational management of the services, ensuring that they are delivered with the defined performance and without interruption. Galileo's system design and system evolution are entrusted by EUSPA to ESA .
