What is an alarm with a dialogue code. Dialogue alarms - what is better? Principle of operation, algorithm in simple language What is an alarm with a dialogue code

Let's start as usual with the backstory! Often on the forums there are such interesting phrases "Take the XXX alarm. Everything works fine for me for a year" and on the other hand "I have the same XXX alarm, they hacked in the parking lot, pulled out the money and the navigator and put it back on guard." So what's the problem? And what is the dialogue code they are talking about last years so much? Why are installers sometimes so reluctant to install and hold on to their usual alarms? We even singled out a separate section for dialogue alarms in our store, and it would seem that everything is simple, dialogue alarms are currently the most crypto-resistant ... but in practice, everything is not so simple, many do not believe, many say that this is a publicity stunt, and some never heard of dialogue alarms! So, the idea of ​​the article appeared, he (the director) said let's go, he waved his hand...

Let's start with theory! What is a car dialogue alarm?

A car dialogue alarm is an alarm in which arming is carried out using a dynamic dialogue between the key fob and the main alarm unit, the alarm unit gives the key fob a random number and they only convert this random number using a known algorithm and compare the answer, this procedure can be repeated repeatedly. How, simply put, does it actually work?

This article was written by us in 2011.
Would you like to choose an up-to-date dialogue alarm system or a security complex?

Let's try to explain, starting with the explanation "on the fingers"! The keyfob issues a request to execute a command (for example, disarm), the alarm unit generates a random number in response, depending on the encryption bit depth, it may differ in the number of digits, then transmits this number to the keyfob. We will not bring to fanaticism the bitness of the numbers used, we will take three-digit number. For example, 536 (let's call this number X). And we will create some simple algorithm by which we will convert this number, for example:

(A + X*B + X 2 *C + X 3 *D)*E = Y

A, B, C, D, E are arbitrary numbers that are unique for each signaling, moreover, the encryption method itself (that is, the type of the equation itself) may differ for the same signaling models, let's call these numbers unknown and try to mathematically clarify how can you figure out these numbers? That is, how can you crack the code and find out the next number? Let's start with the answer - what number will be the correct keychain answer? Here Y will be the correct answer. What do we have in practice? Instead of our unknowns, let's take ordinary arbitrary numbers, positive and negative. For example,

A = 2; B=-17; C=85; D=59; E=-44

Plugging in our unknowns, we get:

(2 + 536*(-17) + 536^2*85 + 536^3* 59) * (-44) = -400833829176

That is, our correct answer, Y = -400833829176

Having intercepted once the request and the response of the dialog signaling once, in no way will we be able to find out what those very unknown numbers are. Having an even simpler case - a system of linear algebraic equations (slough), it will be necessary to intercept as many times as there are unknown variables in the equation, that is, in our case it is 5 times. Add to this the fact that after one correct answer, the dialog signaling can perform the same procedure several more times, but with a different form of transformation. The current most popular replacement code grabbers just work on the principle of the sufficiency of one interception - the code grabber captures one signal, gives noise to the signaling unit, and then uses the received code to open the car.

Naturally, we slightly simplified the situation with coding, starting to explain on the fingers how it works, how the dialog signaling works. In fact, the situation is much more complicated - there are so-called hash functions. A hash function is an algorithm that receives a certain value from a string of arbitrary length, depending on the bit depth of the encryption and the algorithm itself, the answer can contain up to 32 numbers and letters. This is how passwords are stored on forums. When, during authorization, you are sent a letter with a request not to lose it, since the password cannot be recovered, this means that the site or forum management system itself does not know your password. It does not compare the password, but only the result of the hash function of the password you entered and the same result stored on the server. How does such a system work?

We take our random number 536 and try to find out what connection the answer will have with some neighboring numbers! The most popular hashing algorithm is MD5:

MD5(536)=

MD5(535)=

MD5(636)=

MD5(546)=

Agree there is little in common in the results, given the similarity in the original numbers. Not necessarily in this way, but in a similar way, the same initial random number issued by the dialog signaling unit will be encrypted. It has been proven that for the reverse decoding procedure, current supercomputers will need about 100 years. Deviating from the topic, you ask - how then are accounts hacked in the mail, forum and in other places? Passwords are often cracked by brute force, it goes without saying that it’s easier to pick up by age, interests, nickname, wife’s name in a day or two is much easier than cracking one of the most complex algorithms. Sometimes it’s even easier to use server vulnerabilities to find out the password, but the whole point is that the password is a known value, but in our case we just need to find the way to reverse the transformation, since each time there will be not a constant password, but a new random number.

What do we get as a result? Even in the simplest case with path encoding slough- you need to intercept intercept exactly as many times as there are unknowns in the algorithm. In practice, in the simplest case, you will need to follow you for months to intercept your code dozens of times, and after that, knowing the shape of the conversion path (and note, even at the factory they may not know it, since it is unique for each model), it will be possible to crack the dialog signaling.

Given all of the above, we can safely say that those who claim that the dialogue alarm is a riffraff, a publicity stunt, or that they will be hacked in the next year or two, are either cunning, or do not even closely understand how the dialogue alarm works. What makes people say so? There may be several reasons:

  • personal financial interest in selling you a lower quality (crypto-resistant) signaling, because the cost of a fashion expensive two-way signaling goes one to one with the price of dialogue signaling
  • banal misunderstanding of the essence of the issue, the difference between conventional two-way signaling and interactive two-way signaling
  • or personal reasons, when a person has already bought some simple alarm, considers it the best and tries to prove to you the correctness of his choice

Of course, the cryptographic resistance of the dialogue code for car alarms is also popular with manufacturers of dialogue alarms (the main ones include Pandora , Magic Systems , Starline, BLACK BUG) are making significant efforts to promote. It got to the point that one of famous companies, specializing in the production of dialogue alarms, even approved a grant of 1,000,000 rubles (or converting 280,000 hryvnias into a commonly understood currency) to someone who can crack the Pandora car alarm code, which again confirms that the dialogue code for code grabbers is an unattainable goal.

Security systems for cars with dialogue codes

ATTENTION! Found a completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption! Don't believe? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also did not believe until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline!

The process of technical development is not on dead center, but tirelessly continues to cover new areas from year to year human activity. There is nothing surprising in the fact that security systems for cars (immobilizers, car alarms) are constantly being improved by the manufacturers themselves. The same situation is with static type signaling devices, which gained a certain percentage of popularity during the period when they had just begun to develop security means for cars. Usually the code can be read quite in a simple way, if the criminal uses a code grabber, however, in the case of a device that has a dialogue code, such a trick will not work.

It is clear that static security systems for cars are currently not are issued. For this reason, we will not discuss this type of alarm, but rather we will immediately move on to car alarms that work on the basis of a dialogue code.

The dialogue type code in the car alarm is a kind of call sign vehicle, which is intended for the owner of the car. In order for the removal of a special code to be implemented (security systems), you will need to send a signal from the radio transmitter (you just have to click on the button). A signal of this kind is subject to further processing by the system, and then it will send a digital combination in a completely random way. After all this, the alarm key fob will acquire a code that has an encrypted form and send a response signal. With a complete match, the car security will be in a deactivated state. It is worth mentioning that the dialogue is implemented only when the system has a set of data about the user that was previously driven into memory. This is how the dialogue process of the owner and his vehicle is carried out.

How reliable are interactive anti-theft systems?

The connection of the dialogue (two-way) type of car and the car owner has a number of special advantages. The main advantage of these devices is privacy. Only the owner of the car has the ability to receive the signal. In addition to this fact, the combination of numbers is built in a completely random order, without any regularity, and also cannot be repeated. Therefore, guessing or calculating the encoding will not work.

Another advantage of protection devices with a dialogue system is the possibility of installing this type of signaling devices on different cars. The protection device is not tied to a specific vehicle model, to a specific type of engine.

There is only one important drawback: the user will have to make a choice of a car alarm system that has support CAN bus or with the absence of it, so this nuance depends solely on what kind of car you have.

On what dialogue principles does the protection of the radio channel work?

Two-way communication has provided several great opportunities to use new coding algorithms, which are based on a dialogue request-response system. The principles of the conversational system have managed to gain popularity at a fairly rapid pace due to the wide range of positive features that are hidden in radio reception sessions. In addition to the fact that the code is very persistent, there is also an additional advantage - the exchange of useful data during the authorization period. The next advantage of the codes of the dialog type can be quite justifiably considered that there is no need for a synchronization process for the counters. A similar procedure was carried out in without fail on a system with one-way dynamic code.

Synchronization of counters was mainly used by attackers to implement encoding substitution. Most car manufacturers have been using dialogue-type codes for a long time when creating their "four-wheeled creations". The first transition to signaling of this type was carried out back in two thousand and six. However, the requirements imposed by the service do not make it possible to speak about the absolute correctness of decisions of this kind, because any regular system must have service channel so that even the most perfect code can be bypassed.

The main feature of car alarms that have a two-way connection is the function of transmitting certain data that is associated with security system vehicle, to the radio transmitter. The distance over which the transmission process is carried out can be about one thousand four hundred meters. Signaling devices of a similar plan have remote controls remote control equipped with an LCD display. The radio transmitter controls the signaling device, as well as the security level of the car. Remote controls provide the user with all the information that is presented as pictograms-symbols. Dialogue-type car alarms come in various types.

Installation process dialogue systems guards with remote sensing ( remote start) engine, takes into account great amount various nuances. Even with very low temperatures car showroom will be filled warm air, the engine will be warm. The activation of the machine engine is usually done either using a key fob, being at a close distance from your car, or automatically. The user can set a timer that counts down. When the time runs out, the engine will automatically stop. The user is free to set the timer, which after a certain period of time will give a signal to automatically stop.

The implementation of the installation process of alarms for vehicles based on dialogue communication is suitable for any vehicle. They have very low level adaptability to carburetor engines, because during ignition you can approach increased speed, and pull out the choke handle.
