    In recent years, satellite navigation systems have witnessed widespread adoption across diverse fields, including military surveillance, precision agriculture, traffic monitoring, resource exploration, and disaster assessment. However, navigation signals are susceptible to interference, with deceptive interference posing the most significant threat to navigation systems. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of satellite navigation spoofing and anti-spoofing techniques. It reviews the current state of spoofing and anti-spoofing technologies, analysing advancements in spoofing techniques and the evolution of countermeasures. Furthermore, the paper elaborates on the impact of spoofing interference on receiver performance, examining its effects on positioning, timing, and velocity estimations. A detailed analysis of various anti-spoofing methods is presented, categorizing them into detection, identification, suppression, and localization techniques. This review aims to provide a thorough understanding of the evolving landscape of satellite navigation spoofing and antispoofing technologies, fostering further research and development efforts to ensure the integrity and resilience of satellite navigation systems in the face of sophisticated threats.
