SID "Seed" Identification Chip

Most electronic devices with low-level security systems, including phones, smart guns, laptops, cars, doors, or hotel rooms, are accessed via chip technology called SIP (subcutaneous identification device), often referred to as “Seed.” Introduced by Arasaka as an identification chip for corporate workers, it quickly became the global security standard. A SID itself is a small circuit board mounted on the first (thumb) metacarpal bone of the dominant hand.
Despite the continued development of security software, auto theft is still a common problem in certain parts of the city. Hacking a car is relatively easy for those with access to a personal link and specialized illegal hacking programs. Every modern vehicle is equipped with an access port next to the fuel intake, and even older car models have been converted to this standard so that they can function within the computerized vehicle recognition that traffic coordination systems of modern cities. Accessing that port and connecting to it through a personal link can allow a thief to open, break, or install malware on the vehicle’s computers.
