Problem

Traditional car key fobs are susceptible to relay attacks, where thieves can intercept and duplicate the key's signal to gain unauthorized access to the vehicle. Existing connected car systems often lack robust security measures, leaving vehicles vulnerable to cyberattacks and theft.

Solution

Keyvault's Keynex K1 system provides a secure, keyless vehicle access solution that integrates hardware and software to enhance car security and convenience. The system utilizes a combination of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Ultra Wideband (UWB) technologies for secure authentication and precise location detection. The Keynex mobile app allows users to securely access and control their vehicles, share access with others, and monitor vital car parameters. The K1 system installs in any dealership and connects to the Keynex App, providing a multi-layered security approach to prevent unauthorized access and car theft.

Target Audience

The primary target audience includes individual car owners seeking enhanced security and convenience, as well as fleet managers and shared vehicle services looking to streamline vehicle access and monitoring.
