The objective of this RFI is to invite innovative solutions from university students to address the growing concern of cloning car keys through radio frequency (RF) signal interception. The hackathon aims to explore, develop, and propose advanced techniques for safeguarding RF signals used in modern car key systems.
Modern vehicles often use keyless entry systems that rely on RF signals. While convenient, these systems are vulnerable to RF signal interception and cloning by malicious actors, leading to car theft. The hackathon will focus on identifying and developing strategies, technologies, and tools to protect against these vulnerabilities.
Interested participants should submit their intent to participate along with a brief description of their team composition and initial ideas by 19 September 2024. Further instructions and resources will be provided upon registration.
