Advances in technology have brought convenience but also new vulnerabilities. One such vulnerability is the ability of a ...

So, just as a refresher, with the old key fobs, the problem lay with the way they were encrypted. The company that manufactured them, Pektron, only used a 40-bit encryption protocol, which was ...

Last year, researchers discovered a vulnerability in the Tesla Model S key fob that would've allowed thieves to clone it in just a couple of seconds. The automaker and the key fob's manufacturer ...

Despite Tesla and Pektron's upgrade from easily broken 40-bit encryption in the previous versions to far more secure 80-bit encryption in the newer key fobs—a doubling of the key length that ...

This bypasses the encryption altogether, as the car still thinks the legitimate key is nearby. This technique has made relay attacks a growing concern, especially in areas where car theft is high ...

To best see the value of encryption, we need to first explore the cyber weaknesses that can be exploited as a result of remote learning. Education has always been a popular attack vector for data ...

Tesla Model S key fobs were vulnerable to a low-tech ... The fobs were built by a company called Pekton which allegedly only used a relatively unsophisticated 40-bit encryption protocol to protect ...

The fobs were built by a company called Pekton which allegedly only used a relatively unsophisticated 40-bit encryption protocol to ... "We can completely impersonate the key fob and open and ...

Security researchers in Belgium discovered an encryption flaw that let them hack into and steal a Tesla Model S without setting off the alarm. The problem involves the key fob and affects cars ...

In Toyota’s case, the encryption key was based on a serial number also broadcast with the fob signal, while the Kia and Hyundai cars in question used just 24 random bits of protection (DST80, as ...

Encryption keys are vital to the secure operation of payment acceptance devices. But key transport protocols have not kept pace with the movement toward standardized encryption practices. This adds ...
