NXP, the Dutch manufacturer of the Mifare chip found in London Transport’s Oystercard, is suing Dutch Radboud University to court to prevent the release of a research paper entitled Dismantling Mifare Classic that uncovers issues related to the chips. The researchers recently travelled free during a visit to London after cloning innocent traveller’s cards.
So far the university has held firm and still plans to release the paper at the Esorics security conference in October.
