Quoted from Wikipedia:
"Modern systems implement encryption to prevent car thieves from intercepting and spoofing the signal."
I'm a little confused on why this couldn't be spoofed? If the *exact* signal the remote sends to the car is pulled from the air resent by someone else, why wouldn't that open the car? How would the car know the signal was sent by a fraud?
If the remote encrypts a message and sends it... and the car knows how to decrypt it; surely the car would know how to decrypt it again when it is sent by the fraud 20 minutes later.
I just don't understand.... can anyone help enlighten me?
