On August 9, Visa announced plans to accelerate the migration to EMV contact and contactless chip technology in the United States. After a brief overview of chip card payment basics, this presentation focuses on chip product implementations (e.g., chip card, SIM) that have a security impact. Even when the payment protocol is cryptographically secure, information leakage due to incorrect implementation might reveal security assets such as cryptographic keys. This presentation will conclude with the security challenges of malicious applications that might be loaded post issuance.
