GPS As a Key Distribution Platform

Bruce Schneier — Tue, 09 Jun 2026 15:06:49 +0000

This is interesting:

He confirmed that this timeline coincided with the rollout of the military’s Over-the-Air Distribution (OTAD) and the Over-the-Air Rekeying (OTAR) by cross-referencing declassified documents, including a 2015 presentation about the dates of the operation...
