What do the Cold Boot Crypto Attack, DVD Players, and MiFare tell us about the Future of Biometrics?

2008-03-26 00:16:43 by Erik T. Heidt in Art of Information Security
 
...MiFare RFID Cards ( more info Skimming devices attached to ATM machines to steal card and PIN data ( more info Of course, all of these systems worked in the lab. But when a security system is widely deployed, it has to withstand an enormous amount of scrutiny, and minor flaws will be exploited. And of course, the greater the financial gain,...

How they hacked it: The MiFare RFID crack explained

2008-03-19 10:24:03 by Editor in Computerworld Security News
 
Hackers, start your microscopes? The MiFare RFID hack, writes Geeta Dayal, used a few tools not in the arsenal of your average code-duffer. But now that researchers have done the heavy lifting, subsequent cracks will be much, much simpler

Dutch RFID Transit Card Hacked

2008-01-21 06:35:43 by schneier in Schneier on Security
 
...Mifare Classic chip, used on the normal ticket. Two German hackers, Karsten Nohl and Henryk Plotz, were able to remove the coating on the Mifare chip and photograph the internal circuitry. By studying the circuitry, they were able to deduce the secret cryptographic algorithm used by the chip. While this alone does not break the chip, it...
