Clone your Oyster Card

Dutch researchers are about to publish how they’ve cloned smartcards (used to gain access to government buildings, schools…) and Oyster Cards

The publication will include all kinds of details, including the algorithm, you may need for it

The Dutch government and NPX (which makes the technology for smartcards) have complained about this publication but a court in Holland has overturned the injunction

The real aim of the article is, not teaching to get free tube trips, but to try to improve security in smartcards
