Breaking Electronic Door Locks Like You're on CSI: Cyber

Presented at Black Hat USA 2017, July 26, 2017, 10:30 a.m. (25 minutes)

Breaking electronic locks looks so fun in the movies – get your "tech wizard" member of the team to plug some gadget into the control panel on the locked door, the gadget scrolls through all the combinations, and then the door opens. The hardest part is figuring out what cool catch-phrase you'll use when the door opens. Why can't real life be like this? This talk will look at a few consumer grade electronic locks, and aims to break them like you'd see in the movies (roughly). Along the way it features a detailed tear-down of the electronics on these locks & discuss vulnerabilities a hardware hacker can exploit to bypass them.

Presenters:

• Colin O'Flynn - CEO/CTO, NewAE Technology, Inc.
  Colin O'Flynn is reformed a electrical engineer who now breaks many of the types of things he used to build. He started the open-source ChipWhisperer project that brought power-analysis and glitching attacks to the masses, and continues academic work in this space.
