Keyless Ignition System Market Challenges
Security Concerns over Data Hacking & Data Exploitation
of Keyless Ignition Systems is Restraining its Market Growth:
Security concerns related to data hacking and data
exploitation act as one of the major factors impeding the growth of the Keyless
Ignition System industry. Due to the utilization of technologies like Bluetooth,
NFC, and so on, data transmitted can be easily attacked by cybercriminals to
steal personal or confidential data. Since the keyless ignition feature using
smartphone applications or electronic locks includes critical information like
vehicle identification number, cloning or decoding the access through computer
systems or different advanced malware can create security concerns for the user.
In July 2022, Security researchers from Star-V Lab revealed a vulnerability in the remote keyless entry (RKE) system of
Honda vehicles which can be easily exploited by hackers for permanently
unlocking as well as remotely starting the car. The “Rolling-PWN” attack is
capable of exploiting Honda’s RKE system, due to transmitting authentication
codes between the car and key fob. This in turn, also contributes to the rise in relay attacks,
which eventually creates an adverse
impact on the growth of the Keyless Ignition System Market.
