Could the cell tower ignore items moving past a certain speed unless whitelisted?
They could, but implementing such a system would require the cell tower to measure a device's speed via the cell signal's time-of-flight, which would require reprogramming or replacing the tower's hardware.
And even that would only address half the issue, as the drones could still triangulate their position without connecting to them at all using nothing more than a table of cell tower locations.
GPS stops working above a certain altitude or speed regardless of whitelisting so that backdoors arenβt exploited
This isn't GPS though, I don't think the tower can measure altitude, only distance and speed?
Yeah I was saying that a whitelist is pretty dumb cause Russia could spoof a whitelisted device, or steal one and get its credentials, backdoors are never a good idea
Ah, gotcha.
