A series of car cyber security locks such as AUTOCYB, CyBLOK, LoHack and LifeLOK are available and marketed to provide vehicle owners consumer protection.
The OBD2 port is increasingly used as an access point to other in-vehicle electronics systems, subsystems, computers, sensors, actuators and an array of control modules including the air bag control module. It is also used as a serial port to retrieve data elements from on-board systems, subsystems, modules, devices and functions that collect and store data elements related to a vehicle crash such as a restraint control module (RCM) and event data recorder (EDR).
Privacy and protecting personal information is the major consumer motivator — the core psychograpic. It is what drives the sales of the high demand products such as LifeLock and Carbonite — all designed to protect data, data, data…privacy, privacy, privacy.
These car cyber security locks are perfectly suited to capture this need and their demand curve reaches across all demographic categories, cohorts and sub-sets. These products can be linked to or independently created as an automotive aftermarket services. They help to prevent vehicle theft, odometer fraud and vehicle identification number (VIN) tampering. Insurance companies should be using these instead of dongles. That way everyone has a chain of custody following a vehicle crash. It’s a win-win.
