The Contractor shall implement and test different authentication proposals for SBAS message authentication that may include standard crypto protocols and coding schemes and evaluate the impact on SBAS performances at user level.

It is foreseen that the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) will define and standardise an SBAS authentication solution by 2019.
