From 840cfaf5fcadf1392394f7b330e73e126cc22956 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Wesley Ray Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2026 00:22:09 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] canbus: solve IDS-CAN command-auth cipher; add reference implementations The CAN write gate (page-42/43 challenge/response) is a 32-round TEA/XTEA-family Feistel keyed by a per-session 32-bit key; REMOTE_CONTROL = 0xB16B00B5.
