Who Controls the off Switch
Ross Anderson,Shailendra Fuloria +1 more
TL;DR: The combination of commands that will cause meters to interrupt the supply, of applets and software upgrades that run in the meters, and of cryptographic keys that are used to authenticate these commands and software changes, create a new strategic vulnerability, which is discussed in this paper.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Chip and Skim: Cloning EMV Cards with the Pre-play Attack
TL;DR: How the vulnerability was detected, a survey methodology developed to chart the scope of the weakness, evidence from ATM and terminal experiments in the field, and the implementation of proof-of-concept attacks are described, which discuss countermeasures.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Mike Bond,Ross Anderson +1 more
TL;DR: A whole new family of attacks on the APIs (application programming interfaces) used by security processors is discovered, which are economically important, as security processors are used to support a wide range of services.
