A Midland computer scientist has been BANNED from publishing the secret codes used to start luxury discount hotel web sites cars including Porsches, Audis, Bentleys and Lamborghinis – because it could lead to the theft of millions of vehicles .
Garcia and his colleagues from the Stichting Katholieke Universiteit, Baris Ege and Roel Verdult, said they were "responsible, legitimate academics doing responsible, legitimate academic work" and their aim was to improve security for everyone.
The technique involves analysing a chip under a microscope and taking it to pieces and inferring the algorithm from the arrangement of the microscopic transistors on the chip itself – a process that costs around £50,000.
Mr Garcia last night said he could not comment because of the ongoing court case but a spokesman for University of Birmingham said: "The University of Birmingham is disappointed with the judgment which did not uphold the defence of academic freedom and public interest, but respects the decision.
"It has decided to defer publication of the academic paper in any form while additional discount hotel web sites technical and legal advice is obtained given the continuing discount hotel web sites litigation. The University is therefore unable to comment further at this stage."
discount hotel web sites Chris Reeves, commercial manager of intelligent mobility and future technologies at MIRA, revealed that he was able to adjust the car's speed in the 20mph to 50mph range simply by using a laptop computer.
discount hotel web sites All he and his team had to do to take control of the car's electronic systems was to access the diagnostics port in the engine. The socket is normally used to allow technicians to investigate a fault on a car by plugging in a laptop computer under the dashboard.
Charlie discount hotel web sites Miller, a security engineer at Twitter, and Chris Valasek, the Director of Security Intelligence at IOActive, had received an 80,000 dollar grant from the Pentagon in order to research these new vulnerabilities.
The hacks were accomplished via the on-board diagnostics port and Valasek and Miller sent a series of instructions discount hotel web sites to the car that overrode commands from the driver. The pair were able to change the read-out on the fuel tank and the speedometer, disable the brakes, tighten the seat-belts and even take control of the wheel, remotely swerving the vehicle to the side.
Valasek and Miller have responded by noting that wireless discount hotel web sites access to cars' on-board discount hotel web sites software has been possible since 2010, with a range of techniques from Bluetooth discount hotel web sites bugs to app malware used to gain access.
