I remember, years ago when I was working for BMW, reports that security researchers had been able to gain control over a vehicle by compromising the wifi that the Tire Pressure Sensors used to communicate with the central onboard computer. If a few security researchers could develop that capability, I'd be stunned if intelligence organizations weren't doing the same.
- X-Istence 13y agoPlease don't use Wifi. Wifi doesn't refer to all radio communications, Wifi specifically refers to IEEE standard 802.11. The TPMS systems do not use Wifi, nor do they generally transmit in the 2.4 GHz band. The system from the paper you mention sits at 315 MHz. The paper is available here: http://www.winlab.rutgers.edu/~Gruteser/papers/xu_tpms10.pdf http://www.winlab.rutgers.edu/~Gruteser/papers/xu_tpms10.pdf
