Abstract

Automotive conventional anti-theft devices fail to prevent from unauthorized actions against vehicles. Information technologies and evolved microelectronics are currently being developed and widely adopted in controlling many mechanical parts of the vehicles. One of the most common means of restricting access to unauthorized drivers is immobilizer. In current work we discuss some common vulnerability issues that vehicles and immobilizer technology confronts, leading us to propose a redefinition of its role in vehicle security and the physical vehicle environment. Our proposal meets current trends of IT and computer science in embedding systems in vehicles and if properly implemented, may provide more secure vehicles.
