The U.S. #Military Quietly Turned #GPS Into a Global ‘#NumbersStation ,’ Evidence Suggests

The U.S. military has likely been quietly broadcasting codes for its global #encryption network using public GPS for nearly 20 years, turning each #satellite into a hidden “numbers station,” according to Steven Murdoch, an information #security expert, who detailed his findings in a new article in Inside #GNSS.

That means every device that uses GPS has been receiving hidden government information for years, and nobody outside the military knew it until now.

Murdoch, a professor of security engineering and head of the Information Security Research Group at University College London, presented evidence that a 176-bit GPS sequence labelled “Subframe 4, Page 17” is encrypted material from the Pentagon’s Over-the-Air Distribution (OTAD) network, which delivers #cryptographickeys to military personnel around the world.

In what seems like a throwback to the Cold War, a mysterious "numbers station" in Persian has appeared on the shortwave bands. Obviously it has something to do with Trump's Iran war. But it's not clear who is making these transmissions – or who is jamming them.

A Mysterious Signal Transfixes Radio Sleuths -- And Intelligence Experts

The mysterious Persian-language transmission began about 12 hours after the start of the US-Israeli bombing campaign against Iran. It was jammed five days later. Is it a coded message for US agents in Iran? Iranian sleeper cells? Israeli operatives? That’s what experts are trying to decipher.

Couldn’t detect the alleged Iranian numbers stations on 7.910MHz at 1800 tonight. Nothing received in Kent, nor via a few closer WebSDRs. #NumbersStation #ShortwaveListening
