Abstract
A smart key system to prevent theft of a vehicle by a relay attack while securing communication performance under a noisy environment, includes an in-vehicle device that measures noise in a radio wave band of a response signal to be wirelessly transmitted by a mobile device; sets a transmission strength of the response signal greater while the noise becomes greater, within a predetermined strength; wirelessly transmits a request signal including a command about the transmission strength into a predetermined area; receives the response signal; and authenticates the mobile device, by first information preregistered for the mobile device, and second information included in the response signal. The mobile device receives the request signal; sets the transmission strength of the response signal, based on the command in the request signal; and wirelessly transmits the response signal including the second information by the set transmission strength when receiving the request signal.
