0:00.0 | Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in. |
0:05.8 | Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years. |
0:11.0 | Yacold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program. |
0:19.6 | To learn more about Yachtolt, visit yawcult.co. |
0:22.7 | .jp. That's Y-A-K-U-L-T.C-O.jp. When it comes to a guide for your gut, count on Yacolt. |
0:33.6 | This is Scientific American's 60-second science. I'm Christopher Entaliata. Got a minute? |
0:39.7 | Today's cars have loads of computer smarts built in, like the chips that allow you, |
0:44.9 | with a push of a button, to unlock your car. |
0:47.9 | And as new cars move down the assembly line, automakers program those functions into the car. |
0:52.9 | They produce one car, and they program a cryptographic secret in it in order to secure |
0:58.0 | it against thieves. |
0:59.0 | Timo Casper, a cryptographer and engineer at the security and IT consulting firm, Casper and |
1:05.0 | Oswald. |
1:06.0 | And then comes the next car on the production line and they put the same secrets into the second car. |
1:10.0 | And then comes a third car onto the production line and they again put the same secrets into the second car. And then comes a third car onto the production line. |
1:12.6 | And they again put the same secrets into this car. |
1:15.2 | And they repeat this process for millions of cars in the world. |
1:19.1 | And now millions of cars in the world share the same cryptographic secret. |
1:23.6 | Of course, this secret is not so well protected anymore because it is in every of |
1:29.2 | these one million cars and in every remote control. And this is, of course, a typical example of |
1:34.6 | how to not do it. And yet, he says that's exactly how the Volkswagen Group did do it for many cars |
1:40.4 | manufactured in the last 20 years. Casper and his colleagues decoded that shared cryptographic secret by studying the design |
