Thwarting Relay Attacks
Workshop on Invitation Only
Afternoon (2pm-5pm) of 23th of September 2024
(See Program)
University College London (UCL), UK
Background:
Vehicle theft using relay attacks has been making the news in the last years.
The topic has been studied scientifically since 1987 and potential solutions
have been published by theoretical computer scientists since 1990.
However, the problem persists, as new incidents of relay attacks keep emerging.
Goals of the workshop are:
to bring together communication engineers, cryptographers and vehicle
engineers to evaluate the current security proposals on their practicality.
Program and Location:
Invited talks will include background information about prior research
and technical info on the technical aspects of the relay attack against vehicles and
wireless cards. Detailed program and location information: to follow.
How to get invited:
Engineers from the car industry who want to talk at or register for the workshop
should contact one of the organizers to receive a formal invitation
(see below). Representatives from insurance companies are also welcome.
