1. A system for controlling locking/unlocking means of at least one openable panel of a vehicle, comprising:
- vehicle transmission/reception means (3, 4, 5) carried by the vehicle, comprisingvehicle memory means (7) comprising a vehicle circular shift register in which is stored a pseudo-random code;
vehicle transmission means (3, 6, 7) for transmitting an interrogation signal which carries the pseudo-random code; and
vehicle de-spreading means (6, 7, 8) for de-spreading a response signal received unless a pseudo-random code carried by the response signal is not synchronized in substantial correlation with a corresponding pseudo-random code stored in the vehicle memory means (7) by a time shift less than required for an intermediate transmission means to intercept and retransmit a response signal, and for verifying whether the received signal carries a signature of a user transmission means; and
user transmission/reception means (9, 10, 11) intended to be carried by a user for transmitting the response signal for controlling unlocking actuation of the operable panel, comprisinguser memory means comprising a user circular shift register (13) in which is stored the pseudo-random code;
user de-spreading means (12, 13, 14) for de-spreading the transmission signal received unless the pseudo-random code carried by the interrogation signal is not synchronized in substantial correlation with a corresponding pseudo-random code stored in the user memory means (13) by a time shift less than required for an intermediate transmission means to intercept and retransmit the interrogation signal; and
the user transmission means (9, 12, 13, 14) for transmitting the response signal which carries the pseudo-random code and the signature which is specific to the user transmission/reception means.

Abstract
A system for controlling locking/unlocking of at least one openable panel of a vehicle is provided. The system is especially designed to prevent unauthorized persons from intercepting and copying signals transmitted between the vehicle and a transmission/reception device held by the user.
