asking the daft question...

When dualcom says "encryption" do they mean "there encrption" or just GPRS which I assume will has form of some encryption as standard?

Maybe there is something else on top, i don't know, but there must be another level of DualCom encryption, i would imagine linked to the Gemini servers?

Dunno I just play with coloured wires, however it there's encryption there must be key & to keep these secure they have to be regularly changed ?

Some people classify XORing with 0xB3 as encryption. So GPRS could be it. No authentication or substitution protection with GPRS though.

 

So to comply with the standards you would need something more?

Not sure about the standards yet. But without docs or independent tests being available, it would be hard to tell if any product met it.

Anyway, with signalling devices I've got the goal of finding any vulnerability, not checking for standards.

I have a blog, some of which is about alarm security and reverse engineering:

I guess my only point was if they don't meet the standards they may be vulnerable, I think it is important to understand what standards are in place, and if they are up to the job. If the standards do not provide requirements and test methods to highlight vulnerability then they are not worth the paper they are written on. When you have some test results we can review the standards and make a judgement.
