In the wake of European Debt Crisis, facing soaring international commodities prices and global economic downturn, many export manufacturing companies in Pearl River Delta are in a severe business environment. However, such negative factors are partially offset by Guangdong government’s continuous efforts in industry transformation and upgrading. GRGBanking has been in the spotlight with its steady growth and rapid expansion.Located in Science City, Guangzhou,

GRGBanking is a leading currency recognition and cash processing solutions provider in the global market. GRGBanking has persisted in its “High Investment for High Output” strategy by focusing on independent core technology and brand. “Basically we invest 6-9 per cent of our annual revenue for research and development, and sometimes this figure reaches 10 per cent. Take 2011 as an example, because of our annual revenue of 2 billion, our investment on research and development was over 100 million, which is a reasonable rate for a high-tech.” Mark Yip said, “We define ourselves as an industry leader, therefore we set industry-leader-standards for our R&D investment, human resource management and equipment test.”

Through years of technology innovation, GRGBanking has become one of the three companies that master the core cash recycling technology in the world. Dating back to 2010, GRGBanking won the largest cash recycler contracts outside Asia by high quality recycling ATMs with independent intellectual property rights. The full range of GRGBanking’s ATM products successfully passed the security evaluation and all 2,200 functional tests, and was thus certified by German Banking Industry Committee in December 2011. All these accomplishments establish a solid foundation for the company’s penetration and expansion in the European as well as the global market.

Facing the global economic turbulence, “we are still very optimistic about the future”, Mark Yip said with full confidence. “New Positioning for competitive advantage, new thinking paradigm charting the future” is the theme of development for GRGBanking in 2012. In the upcoming future, GRGBanking will continue to concentrate on building its competitive advantages by operating model innovation, and strengthening ATM core technology research and development. Its focus on high-tech manufacturing and service industry, innovative Internet of Things technology and cloud computing application in ATM industry will bolster up GRGBanking’s march towards high-end supply chain and value chain sector.

German researchers crack RFID smartcard encryption

Filed in news Leave a comment

German researchers have cracked the encryption used to protect a type of smartcard whose functions range from restricting access to buildings to processing public transit system payments.

The team demonstrated a hack that can duplicate the magnetic security card and break a previous version of contactless ID cards from Mifare in 2008, The Hacker News reported.

“The new hack is carried out using a side channel attack, which bypasses the defensive features intended to prevent attacks on the card. To achieve this, the researchers made repeated measurements of electricity consumption during encryption and decryption. This can be determined by measuring the magnetic field close to the card,” The Hacker News said.

It was this same team that broke a previous version of contactless-ID cards from Mifare in 2008.

At the time, the intrusion prompted Mifare to upgrade its security to create a card able to be programmed only once.

The upgrade also contained a unique identifying number that could be checked against the programmed content on the card for extra security.

A separate article on IT World identified the researchers who worked on both cracks as David Oswald and Christof Paar at Ruhr University in Germany.

In their cracks, the team used a probe and oscilloscope to record the card’s broadcasts while it’s being read by and RFID reader.

The researchers needed about seven hours to crack the security on one card and get its 112-bit encryption key, the IT World article said.

However, they said it only works if one spent months profiling the card’s architecture, behavior and responses.

They also noted the weak point for the MF31CD40 – and many of NXD’s other cards, which were the ones cracked – is that it does little or nothing to resist being recorded, prodded and poked by crackers.

The EV1 upgrade to that card has an on-chip backup management systems, an authentication mechanism that uses three separate authentication methods, encryption based on the 3DES hardware encryption that meets security requirements for most U.S. government agencies, but is compatible with existing systems designed to read the card using Near Field Communications (NFC) radio systems.

“That probably means it does not yet contain any countermeasures able to stave off determined crackers poking it to see how it reacts,” IT WOrld said. — TJD, GMA News
