The broader impact/commercial is based on the development of a vehicle immobilization device to prevent a vehicle from being stolen by someone who does not have the key to turn the engine. Currently, auto thefts primarily are caused by the limitations of key/keyfob-based vehicle immobilizers, such as wireless keyfobs, physical locks, after-market vehicle alarms, which often rely on vulnerable external wireless communications and in-vehicle networks. The proposed technology aims to address this problem by providing anti-theft protection that is physically isolated from these common cyber-attack vectors. Unlike other systems, this technology does not require car owners to carry any additional token, making it more convenient to use. In addition, this technology may be installed in all existing and new gasoline, hybrid, and electric vehicles, providing a universal solution. This proposed device potentially may address the critical issue of vehicle security and benefit all stakeholders within the auto industry ecosystem.This I-Corps project is based on the development of an anti-theft device for vehicle theft protection. The proposed technology is designed to leverage automotive batteries to authenticate drivers and immobilize vehicles using the authentication results. The disruptive nature of technology lies in its utilization of the battery as a sensing and control channel, effectively safeguarding vehicles against common cyber-attack vectors such as external wireless communication and internal in-vehicle networks. The proposed device consists of three key components: two authentication systems to authorize each legitimate driver using battery voltage/current as the identity carrier, an adaptive and thermally-robust power control module to reduce/restore the battery’s power capacity to dis/enable vehicle access, and four important functions to enable an end-to-end vehicle immobilizer that is compliant with current standards, including estimation of vehicle status, detection of weak/faulty vehicle batteries, detection of illegitimate vehicle accesses, and automatic recharging power supplies to relieve drivers from maintenance burden. This technology has the potential for widespread application in various battery/AC-powered systems, offering physical security in an increasingly interconnected world.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

更广泛的影响/商业是基于开发车辆固定装置，以防止车辆被没有转动发动机的钥匙的人偷走。当前，自动盗窃主要是由基于密钥/密钥的车辆固定器的局限性引起的，例如无线钥匙单车，物理锁，售后车辆警报，这些车辆通常依赖于脆弱的外部无​​线通信和车辆内网络。拟议的技术旨在通过提供与这些常见的网络攻击媒介物理隔离的防盗保护来解决这一问题。与其他系统不同，该技术不需要汽车所有者携带任何其他令牌，从而使使用更方便。此外，该技术可以安装在所有现有的和新的汽油，混合动力和电动汽车中，提供通用解决方案。该提出的设备可能可能解决车辆安全的关键问题，并使汽车行业生态系统中的所有利益相关者受益。该I-Corps项目基于开发用于车辆盗窃保护的防盗设备。拟议的技术旨在利用汽车电池来验证驾驶员并使用身份验证结果固定车辆。技术的破坏性在于它将电池用作传感和控制渠道，有效地保护了车辆免受常见的网络攻击向量，例如外部无线通信和内部车辆内网络。所提出的设备由三个关键组成部分组成：两个身份验证系统，以使用电池电压/电流为身份载体授权每个合法驾驶员，一个适应性和热弹性功率控制模块，以降低/恢复电池的功率，使电池能够启用/启用车辆的访问功能，以及四个重要的功能，以启用端到端的车辆的范围，包括车辆不合时宜的车辆，包括当前的车辆的状态，包括当前的标准，包括距检测非法车辆通道以及自动充电电源，以挽救驾驶员免于维护燃烧。这项技术具有在各种电池/交流电系统中进行宽度应用的潜力，在越来越相互联系的世界中提供了物理安全性。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的智力优点和更广泛影响的评估来评估的支持标准。
