Wireless authentication systems and methods
5 Dec 23
A wireless authentication interference unit comprising: a receiver; a transmitter; and a controller configured to: detect, via the receiver, a first wireless signal indicative of a wireless authentication protocol between an authentication terminal and an authentication key; and output, via the transmitter, an interference signal during a broadcast of an authentication message from the authentication key, wherein the interference signal disrupts authentication of the authentication key by the authentication terminal.
