Skip to content Security Testing of CCC Digital Key implementations
- The CCC Digital Key is the industry standard by the Car Connectivity
Consortium (CCC) that lets you lock and unlock your car with your phone, communicating over
NFC, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and Ultra-Wideband (UWB), with the goal of replacing
physical key fobs.
- We want to test CCC Digital Key implementations for security and compliance.
We focus on the wireless communication between phone and car, over NFC, BLE, and UWB. Our
tests run on a stationary vehicle only. The tests DO NOT require any driving. They DO NOT
require access to hidden hardware inside the vehicle. They DO NOT cause any damage to the
vehicle.
- This is research organised by COSIC, KU Leuven. Contact abel.stuker@esat.kuleuven.be for more information.
