| | Unlike the work earlier this year, these attacks are more of a | nuisance than any real danger; the tire sensors only send a message | every 60-90 seconds, giving attackers little opportunity to compromise | systems or cause any real damage.

Of course, in a place where surveillance infrastructure is already capitalized (think London), adding the ability to track bluetooth tire sensors would be so easy... and self-initializing at the toll stations where the license plates are read and correlation between plate number and current radio fingerprint trivially recorded. --dan --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Cryptography Mailing List Unsubscribe by sending "unsubscribe cryptography" to majord...@metzdowd.com
