Boston- Technology to protect the car from cyber attacks have been developed by two experts who never explained how to hack the Toyota Prius and Ford Escape. Chris Valasek and Charlie Miller, the two experts, never expose a variety of ways to do cyber attacks against vehicles, for example, steps to manipulate the brakes on the Prius and Escape that was speeding.
Two such gaps expose the attack when the Def Con hacking conference in Las Vegas last spring.
Now, told Reuters, Valasek said he and Miller will showcase prototype for "deterrent nuisance" for the vehicle.
Both will be exhibiting work at the Black Hat hacker conference in Las Vegas next week.
Electronic components in the equipment totaling together cost about 150 dollars.
But, the main tool is a set of computer algorithms that listens to network traffic on a vehicle so that a reasonable figure.
In the event of a cyber attack to the vehicle, the tool will detect the presence of anomalies and block unusual activity, said Valasek.
Valasek and Miller, two figures known as a computer expert, admitted that they make it a tool to help vehicle manufacturers to find a way to protect the car's computer system.
"If I hacked the internet or my credit card is stolen, it's not a big deal," said Valasek.
"but, to make the lives of car collision is a problem. We wanted to participate to a solution."
Traffic Safety Agency and Highways United States (NHTSA) in a statement Tuesday expressed no data on accidents caused by hacking the control system on the vehicle.
The automotive industry in recent years to strengthen the efforts to determine and quantify the potential risk to cyber security.
"The security of the cyber world is becoming a global problem and that the greater threat to all industries, including automotive," said Jack Pokrzywa, manager of global ground vehicle standards from SAE International.
Meanwhile, representatives of Ford not leave a comment related to the technology, while the Toyota could not be reached for comment.
