  • @EwanMarshall
    @EwanMarshall Před 8 lety +28

    The thing is, the protocol is overly complicated and has all these fall backs to old knowingly flawed transaction types. There are simple protocols that could be used to stop most these attacks. But on-line verification and no backwards compatibility to things like signature support is needed for them, and the banks like their backwards compatibility way too much.

    • @VorpalHerring
      @VorpalHerring Před 8 lety +2

      +Ewan Marshall Exactly, It would work fine if chip and pin was the only transaction method, but the fact that you can still use the mag stripe and sign completely negates the security benefits that chip and pin should have against physical card theft. 2-factor doesn't work if the second factor is optional.

    • @medibot9095

    • @garrettkajmowicz
      @garrettkajmowicz Před 8 lety +1

      +Ewan Marshall Customers like backwards compatibility, too. Also, one of the design constraints was that the system had to work without network connectivity. That makes things a lot harder to get right as you are lacking one of the routes of authentication which might be possible.

    Is this different than the chip and signature we're rolling out in the US now? From what I understood of the US systems, the chip doesn't actually pass your card number but rather a unique payment code that's cryptographically derived from your card number, the merchant ID, and your transaction counter (which gets incremented each time to prevent replay attacks). I was under the impression that this was done inside the chip which prevents MITM attacks. The examples he was giving seemed to date back a decade so I'm not sure if still applies to current day cards (namely in the US). Can anyone shed light on this?

    Best advice I've heard for combating this from Linus on the WAN Show: give yourself a low limit. People can't steal $10,000 from your card if your card only allows you to spend $500 at a time. "Well what if I need to spend $10,000!" Then you can just put more money on BEFORE you spend it, you silly goof!

    • @casey6556

    . . . and this is why you should always use end to end encryption and best practices for security, rather than trying to roll your own system.

    • @loshan1212
      @loshan1212 Před 8 lety +1

      I don't have much knowledge in chip and pin machines, but I thought that encryption from terminal to provider does take place, only after the terminal completes creates a transaction and then is ready to send transaction details to the provider. So I thought it was the last step, but because of that, it's really easy to catch data before.

      2) I am not a huge fan of getting my card info stolen
      I always just get the cash from the ATM and use it how ever I like. I've used the credit cards only a few times (outside of ATMs), when I misjudged how much cash I'd need.

As long as that is possible, counterfeiting will remain fairly easy - despite these sophisticated chips.

    With due respect to the professor, he's completely, utterly missing the main point of why EMV/chip-card authentication is an important step forward over using magnetic stripes to do transactions.. Which is simply this: To pull off the attacks he describes against chip cards a bad guy has to physically alter the merchant's reader/terminal that talks to the chip on the card. On the other hand, with the way that magnetic stripe cards are still processed by many merchants today a bad guy that can hack into a store's Point-of-Sale machines can steal your credit/debit card info remotely, from anywhere in the world. Which is exactly how the huge breaches at Target, Home Depot, Kmart, and many other retailers here in the U.S. over the past few years happened.

      Russia and North Korea are basically sovereign states that at least partially support themselves through crime. The prevention measures against most crimes of counterfeiting, hacking, etc. are often based on the idea that the person you're combating is some punk kid on the street. It would be too costly for that kid to source linen paper and manufacture cash with watermarks and metal strips and stuff. But Russia has put people on the Moon and has professional spies with the newest equipment. If they want to grift the European nations, it's purely a matter of deciding to do so. The technical abilities to make the devices, determine where the originals are being manufactured, and infiltrate those locations is not beyond their reach.
      Whether that's the case in these instances, I don't know. But drug cartels, for example, are making billions of dollars a year, which puts them well in the NASA spending range. They can certainly put some R&D investment into developing out further criminal sources of money.

      The Hoax Hotel And this is also why mobile wallets such as Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, etc are safer than chip cards. Instead of the actual card number, they transmit to the terminal a different number assigned to the specific device being used along with authentication information so that the charge will only be approved if the actual device linked to the transmitted “card number” is being used to make the purchase. Otherwise, the transaction will be declined.

      GoOhmGaming The £30 or €30 limit only applies in the UK and Europe, though, because contactless payments there are processed without requiring authentication from the customer. No such limits exist for nfc contactless payments in the US, where all payments require authentication regardless of the amount, either via signature or more recently electronically, just like regular card payments always have.

    You don't even need that these days thanks to PayWave. Now all you need is a wireless POS machine registered to a company called something like "administrative fee", program the machine to withdraw a small amount, like a couple of pounds, then walk through a train passing it near people's pockets and handbags. You can do that to hundreds of people in a day, make thousands of bucks and when people check their bank statements (if they even bother to check their bank statements) all they see is a tiny transaction labelled "administrative fee" and think nothing of it.

    • @aba792000
      @aba792000 Před 6 lety +1

      You’d have to get the device real close to people’s pockets or handbags to do that. Paywave and other contactless payments use nfc, which can’t transmit or receive information at a distance greater than about 5 cm (plus, in countries such as the US or Mexico there are hardly any contactless cards). It would be really hard to do what you describe without being noticed. What the thieves normally use is an RFID device, which will work at a greater distance (several meters maybe) and will read card information from the magnetic stripes on people’s cards, not from the nfc chips inside them.

    I though Chip & PIN was a UK bank association name created after the initial issuance of EMV cards without PIN as a PIN marketing education campaign. Isn`t the global name of the chip card technology specified by the EMVCo consortium, for its payment network members really EMV. And Chip & PIN just a local terminology used in the UK?
    Also I thought chip cards leveraging PIN authentication were globally issued since early 90s in countries like France before UK adopted them with the EMV standard at the turn of the century?
    Thanks for your analysis on EMV fraud issues.

    Where I work (most transactions >£100) the card machines reject swipe unless the chip can't be read properly, if you stick the card in the wrong way 3 times it'll automatically switch and ask the customer to swipe it. Really easy to do low-key. Not quite as advanced as the methods in the video but it's pretty scary to think that somebody could pick up my card off the floor and rack up £1000's (assuming I wasn't broke lol) with little more than a few seconds fiddling, before I even knew I'd lost it.

It was like this one guy's CC info got stuck in the memory, and was reactivated every time she swiped a new customer's card. This guy ended up paying for dozens of people's orders before it got noticed!!!!

    @icedragon769 Před 8 lety +1

    Wait a minute, wait a minute, I thought the whole point of chip cards is that the communication is encrypted? The data sent across the wires that are being tapped with these techniques should not contain the user's information plaintext, it's private-key encrypted and hashed against the clock, so why are these attacks working? Is this an older version of the technology that sends the data plaintext?
    I can see how the third example, with the false-card inbetween could work, but that will be fixed in the future as soon as credit card companies get with the times and stop allowing signature transactions. The other two, though, shouldn't be able to work as the technology works right now.

  • @frollard
    @frollard Před 8 lety

    The one thing I thought would be helpful was
    Transaction:
    machine asks card for bank info
    machine reads LAST transaction signature from card
    machine gets pin
    machine asks bank if card is valid based on info and last transaction; all encrypted to high hell
    machine authorizes transaction, and saves new signature to card.
    If someone skims it then the card gets burnt when the last transaction doesn't match what the card thinks.
    If they man-in-the-middle it can't write the correct signature to the old card.

    • @JamesHD1990

    What happened to the next step in security that was advertised in the early '00's because even in the ,'90's it was known the chips are already defeatable.
    And we have plenty of guys on Tube that recommend removing the chips and going back to the swipe, along with a common thing now is doing a triple ( because so many people refuse to wait the 5-10 seconds, before putting a chip card in to give the cashier time to use the program to make ready for the card. They jump ahead, while things are still being rung in, as fast as possible, slip the card in, and get angry that the transaction isn't completed the very moment a last item is scanned. So we then have to do the 'triple'. Remove the card, wait, re- insert( wait for the error response), remove, wait, re- insert(..error response), remove, then, swipe,..and the card gets approved. All because people refuse to apply a little patience. And of course, if it's a rigged reader, the bad guys were just now given 4 chances to get info off their cards.
    This ( the 'triple')happens over and over again everyday.
    Things on their mind, new card( why it's like a new toy, it's remarkable, let's play), just plain immature users..?
    CXO blogs list all this stuff we have had for next steps, for years, yet we're still only at chips. What's wrong with the processes applicable on this.

  • @zviratko
    @zviratko Před 8 lety

    A payment card has form factor of a smartcard.
    The chip has the physical interface of a smartcard (I haven't compared, but at least it's very similiar).
    So why the hell doesn't it work like a smartcard? I always assumed that when I input a PIN on the keypad with the card inserted, some cryptographic transaction was taking place where the terminal would input hash of the transaction to the card which would sign it when unlocked with a PIN.
    But then "contactless" cards came along and I realized it was not even close. You swipe the card (obviously there's at most a pre-shared key to do anything at that point) and then input the PIN without the card present afterwards. What the hell? How's that supposed to help anything?
    Any idea why this isn't it implemented like a smartcard? Even for wireless, you could type the PIN, then hold the card over the reader and it could still unlock with PIN and sign - just wirelessly.
    Instead there's some obscure insecure-by-design protocol that can never work when you start looking at it even as a user!

    Until they ditch the SDA protocol its easy money. For under £100 you can purchase the required reader/writer and suitable blank cards, bins etc. Some of the issuers haven't addressed this, because in terms of percentages, the losses caused by use of cloned cards, are relatively very small, whereas implementing cda/dda is costly.
