In this lab we shall explore in some detail the EMV protocol,
which is used across most of the world for payment transactions
when using a 'Chip and PIN' smartcard. We shall go through the
basics of the protocol and then understand some of the things that
can go wrong when implementing this protocol in practice. In
particular, I shall explain some of the attacks that we discovered
in Cambridge, which forced banks to update their systems and
updated the security requirements.
