The researchers did a great job in pointing out the failures in what basically is an old DIN standard that should not be used in this century. I congratulated them after the talk as I did similar research and didn’t get it finished for 38C8. Their presentation is spot on. The attack vector is definitely feasible and publicly known for a while. I honestly don’t understand why nobody in the industry wanted to switch to a safer alternative. The reaction by EFR will create an unnecessary Streisand effect and after all they will be able to upsell their customers to a (soon to be legacy) 450 MHz LTE system.
