Galileo offers optional cryptographic signatures for their positioning data.

It's a solved problem and free for use.

Sadly this doesn’t solve the problem.

Spoofers simply receive the signed signal and re-broadcast it with a tiny delay. Signatures still intact.

If you ever received unspoofed data, and have a somewhat accurate local clock (rubidium is fairly cheap), you can detect the spoofing.
