A Dutch university is to be sued by NXP Semiconductors after the emergence of a paper outlining the recent cryptographic cracking of the Oyster smartcard.
Researchers from the Radboud University in Nijmegen hacked and cloned a Mifare RFID chip manufactured by NXP after an experiment with the Dutch Mifare-based smartcard.
