For the “IC card system by MI-chip algorithm to break the security” of the report, South China University of Technology Institute of Computer Science and Engineering, Head, Department of Information Security, Doctor TANG Shao-hua said that the public has no tension, as was deciphering the “Mifare contactless logic encryption card “in the use of bank cards is not widespread.

TANG Shao-hua said that the use of bank cards are magnetic stripe card, IC card, it is unlikely the same principle. Recorded on magnetic stripe cards are often only accounts, and other important information relating to all depositors in the bank’s central database .

From the current understanding of the situation, the message referred to “Mifare contactless logic encryption card” in the bank cards are also rarely used. Therefore, the public need not worry about the bank card has been cracked. But other categories such as card campus storage value cards might be affected.

TANG Shao-hua said that, as the news said, if the malicious use of research results were, then the majority of access control systems will be meaningless. But whether the premise that criminals can get hold of the technology to decipher.

And to decipher due to the considerable input of manpower and resources to decipher the criminals will be produced by measuring the value of whether it is worthwhile to pay a price, may not be as criminal goal.

TANG Shao-hua said that information security was to decipher the phenomenon is often the international community on many similar events, information security and safety to prevent deciphering between the game itself is a continuous process. Therefore, the public of such information need not panic , the relevant departments will certainly suit the remedy to solve the problem.
