Applying recent secure element relay attack scenarios to the real world: Google Wallet Relay Attack
This exposes a security vulnerability in Google Wallet, which could impact users of mobile payment systems, though it is incremental as it builds on known relay attack scenarios.
The paper tackled the problem of relay attacks on contactless smartcards by applying them to Google Wallet, resulting in a successful demonstration of relaying an EMV Mag-Stripe transaction over a wireless network.
This report explains recent developments in relay attacks on contactless smartcards and secure elements. It further reveals how these relay attacks can be applied to the Google Wallet. Finally, it gives an overview of the components and results of a successful attempt to relay an EMV Mag-Stripe transaction between a Google Wallet device and an external card emulator over a wireless network.
