- This work shows that most automotive keyless entry systems currently used are insecure. This paper identifies weaknesses in the key management of several systems and also develops a new type of correlation attack against the widely used Hitag2 RKE. This article received extensive media coverage including WIRED, The Guardian, Washington Post, Scientific American, BBC News, CNN, AP, Reuters, NBC News among many others. As a consequence, several car makers (e.g., General Motors) are now migrating to more secure systems based on the standard (AES) cipher and improved key management.
