New hack-proof chip could secure your credit cards


Scientists, including those of Indian-origin, have developed a new radio frequency identification (RFID) chip that is virtually impossible to hack and can prevent your credit card number or key card information from being stolen.
The chip prevents so-called side-channel attacks, which analyses patterns of memory access or fluctuations in power usage when a device is performing a cryptographic operation, in order to extract its cryptographic key.
