Luxury cars, although very cool virtual keys but also give opportunity for hackers

You can live in one week alone, unaccompanied, but without the phone company, you are likely to play Free Dora Games simply support, but one day. Based on Bluetooth communication technology, car prices have already realized through the mobile phone to the vehicle control, but now, through the virtual key technology, can achieve staggered car sharing in spacetime. The only guarantee is that this sharing to be safe enough. Smart Key Competition Car keys, car prices have become to show their technological and innovation capability important ways. As early as 2013, BMW released a lead for the plug-in hybrid i8 coupe is equipped with an LCD screen car keys, and common keys compared to its greatest feature is inlaid with a size of 2.2-inch LCD (LCD) display, the owner can slide the touch screen, such as to view the amount of fuel, battery electric mileage, doors and windows are closed, and maintenance has expired and other information. According to BMW news was released, the car key is not i8 of the standard, but need to add money option, to a certain extent, dealt a blow to the enthusiasm of some consumers. However, not long after, Huaqiang North to launch this product of "domestic version," although it is looks like a BMW car key mobile phone, but enough to achieve real results. But in the "First Financial Daily" reporters opinion, a BMW 7 Series Smart Key is just cool enough to pull the wind and in the technological sense is not so prominent. Real science and technology lifestyle or Tesla ModelS car keys and automated functions. Tesla says the automotive industry is a traditional heterogeneous and insurgents may not opposition, the reason why we think it is to subvert the traditional, in addition to its own iPad on a shape that is similar enough to pull the wind electric cars and the center console outside the same 17-inch big screen, most people have an intuitive impression is probably the first of its keyless entry and start the function. Keyless entry and more, while not new, but Tesla is definitely not some bright spots. When the owners to carry car keys close to Tesla about 1 m, hidden in the chrome door handle will automatically pop up, and when the vehicle moves forward, the door handle is automatically retracted. When the car when no one using the car key can also complete remote control car forward or backward. In the current production especially the high-end luxury cars as well, the most widely used is the keyless entry and start,play Bubble Shooter Classic when you're carrying large bags from the store out, do not rush to find the car keys, as long as you can open and close the door press a key to start button, will be able to launch the vehicle. However, there is news that this looks very convenient design is actually there are security risks. Last August, the United States 28 plaintiffs for ten cars including BMW, Daimler-Benz, Chrysler, Fiat, Ford, General Motors, Honda, Hyundai-Kia, Nissan, Toyota and Volkswagen and other enterprises to initiate a class action that car prices partially (about 5 million) cars equipped with keyless ignition / ignition function remote flawed. In June that year, there is Cox Media Group (CoxMediaGroup) reported that an elderly couple in the car parked inside his garage, keyless ignition key is pressed to turn off the car after the engine is not actually closed, still continuous operation for at least several hours, resulting in carbon monoxide leaks into the room, the couple lived in the first floor of the poisoning. In China, there have been with the keyless start function car robbery was news. Instead of using a mobile phone However, the smart key is also very "delicate", such as mobile phones and the like can not always put together an electronic device, as this may lead to low-intensity radio waves used by the smart key, does not work in the presence of a magnetic field interference, nor prolonged exposure to high temperature environment, fear of water. At this stage, the so-called keyless entry or start, not to say that the vehicle completely without keys, but only that in the course, but still took the keys without always carry. Although it looks easy, but once lost, fill with the key not only expensive, but also need to wait for a long time. When starting the vehicle can get rid of dependence on the real keys? Including Valeo and Continental Group, including auto parts manufacturers as early as around 2010, began committed to the development of the technology, the current technology is relatively mature program. By 2015, the "First Financial Daily" reporters have experienced Valeo virtual key technology. According to the engineer, Valeo virtual key system includes Bluetooth wireless receiver mounted on the vehicle side, the phone App application, and cloud systems for secure encryption. As the owner of the vehicle the highest authority to authorize others to use one phone via cloud system, authorized phone via Bluetooth App interaction based on communication with the vehicle. This is BYD in 2011 to show off to the public, on its e6 models equipped with smart "cloud system" relatively similar in implementation. Without the key, you can directly through the phone App to unlock the car and functional operation. By 2014, BYD G5 released its cloud features than the previous system has been greatly improved, not only can be achieved through the completion of the car to unlock the phone App, lock, open the trunk of the remote control, mobile phone and car connections also changes into a Bluetooth connection, the situation can be avoided play Nail Games in the underground garage or in places with poor mobile signal inoperable, Bluetooth transmission distance is generally in the 8 to 30 meters, is sufficient in the far distance remote control car. In addition, BYD also in the form of authorization code will be delegated the right to use the vehicle to realize car-sharing. By car via phone App generates some by car code, and the code is sent to the owners in the form of text messages, if the owner agrees to send a text message containing the authorization code by App to borrow the car who, by virtue of an authorization code by car who can be turned on by the vehicle by BYD App. Authorization code is contained information by car period, after the car can no longer be overdue by car to use, unless the application again to the owners. The Valeo virtual keys can also authorize others to use your phone App sharing vehicles. In Valeo opinion, when car sharing is increasingly becoming a trend, the virtual keys will get more and more recognized by consumers. Volvo had previously announced that will be the first production car to offer virtual key technology car prices, from the beginning of 2017, Volvo models can open the door by mobile App. Valeo also said it is actively working with car companies to cooperate in order to promote a virtual key landing technology, it is estimated this year, the European part of existing vehicles can be loaded through the rear, modified, to achieve the above functions. Including BYD speed sharp, Qin and Tang are equipped with the above-mentioned Bluetooth remote control key, along with control of the vehicle by mobile virtual function keys. The key is safe Cool feature allows consumers hooked, for car-sharing, this is a very useful technique, but it also gives hackers a chance. SyScan360 international prospective information security conference last year, and domestic hackers crack team from the United States, respectively, demonstrated how to crack Jeep liberty light, Tesla ModelS and BYD Qin and other models. Qin, for example, hackers crack the team uses strategies through Bluetooth system crack. First, Ubertooth software crack BYD Qin Bluetooth PIN code. After the success of mobile phones and other mobile devices with a Bluetooth connection, and then rely on the keyless entry system vulnerabilities and control procedures between the mobile phone App, you can unlock the doors and start the vehicle. In addition, and based on car Bluetooth system capable of maintaining communication, the hacker team can also be made with the original remote control key functions as a Bluetooth device through reverse engineering. The majority of car prices, the technology of virtual keys is not difficult. The system will record an encrypted security data is sent to the phone, and save it on your smartphone's SIM card. It contains the authorization to enter the car. Mobile NFC (near field communication technology) or BLE (Bluetooth low energy) data (authentication, and vehicle diagnostic data, and user data) is sent to the car in the reader, which can be integrated in automotive parts ( for example, the door) in. Car in another receiver verifies smartphone virtual keys before the engine is started, after verification by car can be launched. Volvo said that in order to ensure safety, the double security system, vehicle and each virtual key to retain some of the encrypted password to prevent hackers. But if the vehicle battery is dead, you can not recognize a virtual key, the driver at this time need to call request roadside assistance. The Valeo chose to join France GEMALTO cooperate to play Hair Games develop and improve the virtual key technical level of security. Only users who carry a virtual key storage device (smartphone or smart watch) to unlock the vehicle near the vehicle. This aversion to unlock App Remote unlock the vehicle based on the vehicle's cloud server to a certain extent. But the premise is how the virtual keys are not foolproof and malicious hacker attacks. This may be at the moment, the virtual key technologies have not been large-scale promotion of the important reasons.
