Para llevar a buen puerto sus experimentos, los ingenieros extrajeron los algoritmos de una actualización para el teléfono satelital SO-2510, modelo que fábrica la empresa emiratí Thuraya.
Los investigadores lograron descifrar esos algoritmos mediante el descubrimiento de la ingeniería inversa de las actualizaciones de firmware de esos dispositivos, que principalmente se emplean en zonas con poca cobertura de redes móviles y en la industria marítima.
Los expertos del centro académico alemán explican que después de analizar a fondo ambos algoritmos localizaron vulnerabilidades que comprometían la seguridad de los datos enviados a través del dispositivo móvil.
