Security Issues with Contactless Bank Cards

چکیده
Contactless bank cards have been issued steadily to banking customers over the past four years and this trend has continued to grow rapidly more recently. We want to highlight a list of security issues as well as privacy threats to be concerned with when using such contactless bank cards. Further advances in smartphone technology applications can lead to new threats in relation to contactless bank cards. This paper highlights data protection issues in Ireland as a major push by authorities to a cashless banking society which could potentially lead to further data protection problems in Ireland.

متن کاملFlexible Visual Display Units as Security Enforcing Component for Contactless Smart Card Systems
Today, one existing class of RFID systems are based on ISO 14443 (Proximity Coupling). This is the standard for RF-interfaces of contactless smart card systems. Contactless RF interfaces of smart cards are very often regarded as less secure than contact based smart cards. This tenor may be changed based on our new approach. Therefore we suggest to establish secure password authenticated wireles...
متن کامل"On-Card" User Authentication for Contactless Smart Cards based on Gesture Recognition
Smart cards are widely used for security purposes. To protect smart cards against misuse an authentication process (e.g. entering a pin or password) is necessary. Due to missing input interfaces “on-card”, an external terminal is required to input the password. Unfortunately the required external hardware (e.g. keypads, etc.) opens up new security issues by being vulnerable against attacks like...
