January 17 , 2025

The security of TTLock Waterproof Access Control is relatively high, but like any smart lock, it is not completely without potential security vulnerabilities or risks. The details are as follows:


TTLock Waterproof Access Control


Security Level of TTLock Waterproof Access Control

  1. Multiple Encryption and Protection: TTLock Waterproof Access Control usually adopts advanced encryption technology to protect the communication between the lock and the mobile app, as well as the data transmission and storage process. This makes it difficult for hackers to intercept and crack the data in the transmission process.

  2. Diverse Unlocking Modes: It has a variety of unlocking methods, such as fingerprint recognition, password unlocking, RFID card unlocking and mobile app unlocking. Each unlocking method has its own security mechanism. For example, fingerprint recognition uses biometric technology to ensure the uniqueness and accuracy of identity verification; password unlocking can set complex passwords and support anti-peeping password function.

  3. Tamper Alarm and Real-time Monitoring: When the lock is tampered with or unlocked abnormally, the system will send out an alarm and push real-time notifications to the user's mobile phone, so that the user can know the situation of the lock in time and take corresponding measures.


Potential Security Vulnerabilities and Risks

  1. Historical Vulnerabilities: In 2019, TTLock devices had some security vulnerabilities, such as not properly restricting password-reset attempts, which could lead to incorrect access control and disclosure of sensitive information about valid account names, and not properly blocking guest access in certain situations where the network connection to the cloud was unavailable.

  2. Bluetooth and Network Risks: If the Bluetooth connection is not encrypted properly or the network security configuration of the lock is insufficient, there may be risks of Bluetooth eavesdropping and network attacks. Hackers may try to intercept the Bluetooth signal to crack the unlocking password or gain unauthorized access to the lock through network vulnerabilities.

  3. Weak Passwords and Shared Accounts: If users set simple passwords or share accounts and passwords with others, it will increase the risk of unauthorized access. In addition, if the password is not changed regularly, the risk of being cracked will also increase.


Protection Methods Against Hacking and Unauthorized Access

  1. Regularly Update the Firmware and App: The manufacturer will continuously update and improve the security of the lock firmware and mobile app. Users should enable automatic updates or regularly check for updates to ensure that the system has the latest security patches and features.

  2. Set Complex and Unique Passwords: Avoid using simple and easy-to-guess passwords, such as birthdays, phone numbers, etc. It is recommended to use a combination of letters, numbers and special characters, and set a different password for each lock.

  3. Enable Two-factor Authentication: If the TTLock system supports two-factor authentication, it is recommended to enable this function. Usually, in addition to entering the password, a verification code sent to the mobile phone or other authentication methods is also required, which can further enhance the security.

  4. Strengthen Network Security: If the lock is connected to the network, make sure that the network environment is secure, such as using a secure Wi-Fi network, enabling network encryption and firewalls, and regularly changing the Wi-Fi password.

  5. Limit User Permissions: In the process of adding and managing users, carefully set the access permissions and time periods of each user according to the actual situation, and avoid granting excessive permissions to unnecessary people.

  6. Monitor and Audit Access Logs: Regularly check the access logs of the lock to understand who has accessed the lock and when, and check for any abnormal access records in time. If any suspicious activity is found, take immediate measures to change the password or restrict access.
