In modern vehicles, radio frequency identification (RFID) key fobs, a form of remote keyless entry (RKE), play a pivotal role in vehicular security and functionality. The goal of this research is to implement and demonstrate radio-based cyberphysical attacks against identified vulnerabilities associated with RFID key fobs and provide insights on how to fortify security precautions against such attacks. Furthermore, this research reviews and acknowledges pre-existing security features that have been implemented to prevent the recurrence of these vulnerabilities. An additional goal of this research is to discover the security disparity between RFID tags and readers from vehicles manufactured in the early 2000s and vehicles from the mid-2010s or later.
