RC5-64 HAS BEEN SOLVED! : Comment 24 of 33 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Christophe Decanini on 27-Sep-2002 13:30 GMT | In reply to Comment 19 (Anonymous): Well,
We had a guy in France that cracked the Visa card encryption.
If I remember well he was dividing the encryption into multiple smaller one thanks to prime numbers.
With an ATM machine, a few PCs, he managed to build a visa card that would work with any PIN, transfer the money to the seller without withdrawing it from any account.
He went to visa and ask big money to fix their encryption. He was then caught and sent to jail for having used his card buying subway tickets as a proof of concept to show VISA that he was able to crack it. |
