Details of vulnerabilities in the chipset used in London's Oyster travel smartcard have been released by Dutch researchers, who have said the smartcard's security was "fundamentally broken".
The Australian Customs Service today said its inbound e-passport authentication system SmartGate would not be fooled by fake details, after a Dutch hacker claimed to have broken through similar systems in Europe.
Transport for London has terminated its contract with the Transys consortium that provides the Oyster ticketing system for the London Underground, buses and trams.
A Dutch researcher has published code that purports to emulate and clone e-passports, and has released a video to prove it works.
Cubic, a member of the Transys consortium that runs London's Oyster smartcard public transport system, has been legally restrained by its partner EDS.
