Integral security system for personal vehicles

A layered security context for vehicles: dynamic immobilizers running in parallel to the CAN bus, plus a continuous 24/7 recording system designed to increase safety and traceability.

This project focuses on building a comprehensive security framework for personal vehicles. One core element is the implementation of dynamic immobilizers deployed across secondary systems. These immobilizers work in parallel with the vehicle’s CAN bus, acting as an additional barrier against unauthorized start attempts.

Many modern vehicles rely heavily on the CAN bus communication architecture, and real-world attacks have demonstrated that it can be exploited to start a vehicle without the original key. The objective here is to reduce the attack surface by adding a parallel control layer that makes compromise significantly harder.

“The goal is not to replace the car systems, but to add a silent layer that strengthens them.”

Another key component is an integrated continuous 24-hour recording system. It uses two cameras covering approximately 170° front and 170° rear without obstructing visibility. This provides valuable evidence in case of incidents or security events and increases overall awareness around the vehicle.

Security note: I can’t publish specific implementation details because the system is currently active in multiple vehicles. Keeping certain aspects confidential helps protect the integrity of the solution. Also, each installation is customized depending on the vehicle type (car, motorbike, etc.) and its electronics—always prioritizing that added components do not interfere with the vehicle’s native systems.
