Validian Corp fka VLDI

[The Penny Preacher]

Some things are just too self evident to be debatable by rational human beings.

Both of the recent articles have nailed the cybersecurity issues facing the automotive industry. And those issues are NOT NEW. The information contained in both articles is absolutely factual AND more to the point, it is absolutely verifiable by ANYONE with a computer and Internet accsss that lets them do a BASIC Google search. If you can type the words "Wireless Car Sensors Vulnerable to Hackers" and hit enter, you can see for yourself that some of the world's BEST cybersecurity experts have been trying UNSUCCESSFULLY for over seven years to solve this problem. That is of course, it is safe to assume that the scientists at MIT qualify as experts in the cybersecurity world.

All of this talk of how good VLDI's competition is and how secure they have made the world and in this case, the automotive connectivity and IoT world is TOTAL NONSENSE. The past seven years have proven beyond any possibility of dispute that SSL/PKI technology CANNOT be used comprehensively in the automotive connectivity and IoT industry to solve their cybersecurity issues. Any rational person can easily see that if they could have solved the issue with that outdated technology they WOULD have already done so. No RATIONAL person would dare to make the argument that Tesla wouldn't have used the best cybersecurity technology possible in their cars IF IT WORKED. And if it worked, there cars would not have crashed during their cybersecurity tests. And 1.4 MILLION vehicles would not have been recalled by other companies if they could solve their cybersecurity issues on their own. It is absurd to suggest otherwise.

If you still have doubts read this...
