Car alarms with dynamic scan protection

Dynamic Scan Protection

— the general principle of dynamic coding is that each time you press the button to turn on or turn off the alarm, the key fob gives a new, unique signal. Most often, the Keelog algorithm is used for this; it assumes that the signal from the key fob contains data on the serial number of the device, the number of clicks and the secret code that the central unit also “knows” (this code is written at the factory and is unique for each alarm). Based on the serial number, the system performs general identification of the key fob, the click counter confirms that the signal has not been sent before, and the secret code acts as an encryption key. Thus, even if an attacker intercepts and copies the signal from the key fob, this signal will be outdated and, accordingly, useless; and it is impossible to decipher this signal and reproduce the desired version without a secret code.

The main advantage of systems with dynamic coding is simplicity and, accordingly, low cost. However, this method in itself is less perfect than the dialog code, it provides a lower degree of protection against interception and hacking — with the help of the so-called dynamic code grabber with a jammer, an attacker can still intercept the control code under certain conditions and open the machine. However this procedure is quite complicated and does not give a guarantee; so in general, dynamic code is a good option for inexpensive cars that are not particularly attractive to professional crackers. But for maximum protection, it is still better to use dialogue systems.
