This paper describes a potential attack on EMV1 contactless payment cards which is low cost, high return and relatively easy to implement. This could have a serious impact on the security of EMV cards because it requires little investment or expertise to carry out successful card fraud, leading to more attacks being attempted. 3D Secure2 payment authentication addresses the issue, but will only resolve it once all websites are protected by 3D Secure. This paper proposes a low cost solution to address the vulnerability, in which contactless payments cards would only be active when the cardholder wants to make a payment.
