How encryption protects from attacks

Our 2GIG GC2e and GC3e panels along with the eSeries Sensors utilize a best-in-class security framework to protect the end user from several different hacking attacks. The two main types of hacks are “capture and replay”, and “man in the middle.”

With “capture and replay,” a hacker can tap into a system with an unencrypted door or window sensors and capture the door closed signal. The hacker can then replay the sensor signal to tell the system the door is closed even if door is open. Even worse, if the hacker captures the data from an unencrypted key fob. The hacker can then use that captured data to actually disarm the system.

“Man in the middle” allows the hacker to “listen” by capturing decoded or unencrypted information. The hacker can then alter the data between the sensors and panel, to show different open and close states.

How 2GIG security helps
