The report asserts that systems employing MiFare will likely be secure for another two years, since hacking the chipseems to be an involved and expensive process. Millions upon millions of MiFare Classic chips are used worldwide in contexts such as payment cards for public transportationnetworks throughout Asia, Europe and the U.S. Thewarning comes on the heels of an ingenious hack, spearheaded by Henryk Plotz, a German researcher, and Karsten Nohl, a doctoral candidate incomputer science at the University of Virginia, that demonstrated a way to crack the encryption on the chip. Last month, the Dutch government issued a warning about the security of access keys based on the ubiquitous MiFare Classic RFID chip. If you manage to crack all the keys you can see the HEX encoded contents of the key on your terminal and. Deck from 2007 that you linked to contains a very good description of cracking Mifare Classic.
