The MIFARE Hack
نویسنده
چکیده
The MIFARE Classic is the most popular RFID chip, used in public transport as well as cafeterias and other applications. This paper gives an overview of which methods were used to re-engineer the chips, from polishing to analyzing the communication. Within this process, various security weaknesses were discovered. Those allow various attacks, which will be shown in the last part of the paper.

The MIFARE Classic story
The MIFARE Classic product from NXP Semiconductors has been much maligned over recent years and whilst some of the criticism is well justified by virtue of the inherent security problems, it is by no means the weakest card/RFID in use today. In this article we give a brief overview of the MIFARE Classic card, its use, design and security. We start by looking at the range of card and RFID produc...
متن کاملAlgebraic Attacks on the Crypto-1 Stream Cipher in MiFare Classic and Oyster Cards
MiFare Crypto 1 is a lightweight stream cipher used in London’s Oyster card, Netherland’s OV-Chipcard, US Boston’s CharlieCard, and in numerous wireless access control and ticketing systems worldwide. Recently, researchers have been able to recover this algorithm by reverse engineering [11, 13]. We have examined MiFare from the point of view of the so called algebraic attacks. We can recover th...

متن کاملMaking the Best of Mifare Classic Update
What would you do if you would be instructed to make a secure application built on the Mifare Classic? Arguably, due to the vulnerabilities shown in [5] and hinted at on [6], this is rather difficult and it may be easier to use to another chip. This document explores what the best is you can get, if the only option is Mifare Classic. We propose countermeasures against state restoration and agai...
متن کاملThe Dark Side of Security by Obscurity
MiFare Classic is the most popular contactless smart card with some 200 millions copies in circulation worldwide. At Esorics 2008 Dutch researchers showed that the underlying cipher Crypto-1 can be cracked in as little as 0.1 seconds if the attacker can eavesdrop the RF communications with the (genuine) reader. We discovered that a MiFare classic card can be cloned in a much more practical tota...
