Samsung Pay is an attractive based contactless framework that was made keeping in mind the end goal to get rid of the requirement for entering your Visa points of interest anyplace. This framework comes as a standard in some more up to date Samsung telephones and works by method for making an interpretation of charge card information into tokens.

Be that as it may, a security scientist has highlighted a defect in this component, and if that is misused then it can permit the programmer to do false exchanges on an alternate telephone.

The issue has been highlighted by Salvador Mendoza, who said that the succession produced by the tokenization procedure can be anticipated as it is entirely restricted. He clarified that after the application has created the main token for a particular card, future tokens for the same card are less demanding to anticipate in light of the fact that they are not as secure. On the off chance that the tokens are then stolen, they can be utilized as a part of whatever other gadget to do fake exchanges. This is the most up to date type of charge card skimming.

The focal undertaking in this disaster is taking the tokens. Mendoza has likewise exhibited how that should be possible. He fabricated a contraption that fit on his arm and could take attractive secure transmission remotely at whatever point he would get some individual's telephone.

This contraption would then email the token to his inbox, which he can later arrange on another telephone. For Mendoza's situation, he stacked the token on an open-source attractive stripe spoofer called MagSpoof and could do exchanges.

Mendoza has cautioned that a wide range of cards from all banks can be abused in this way except for blessing cards. This is on account of Samsung replaces the sign with a standardized identification checking if there should arise an occurrence of blessing cards. Concerning Samsung, they have not made any remark on whether they will investigate tackling this issue.

A friendly reminder : Do not use "Electron Cash" to claim/spend your "Bitcoin Cash"

Yesterday, I got a few twitter notifications where electrum warned about using of "Electron Cash". What is "Electron Cash" ? It's a lightweight HD wallet for "Bitcoin Cash", very likely to "electrum". There is a potential risk of losing your original Bitcoins if you are currently using electrum and if you install both "electrum" and "electron cash" on the same PC. Because, it copies all your "electrum wallet files" into its own directory. And it's too dangerous to use your original "electrum seed" into "electron cash" to import your existing BTC wallets. In addition its binary files are signed with a pseudonym "Jonald Fyookball". I'm astonished that why the creator or developer group want to hide their real identities and wanna keep them as anonymous. If a huge amounts of BTC are stolen via "electron cash" then there will be no chance to trace them. Although,

What are bitcoin miners really solving? (collected from web)

What are bitcoin miners really solving? Here is an extremely simplified sketch of the problem, but it should give a pretty good idea of what the problem is. The data: This is the hash of the lastest block (shortened to 30 characters): 00000000000001adf44c7d69767585 These are the hashes of a few valid transactions waiting for inclusion (shortened). 5572eca4dd4 db7d0c0b845 And this the hash of one special transaction that you just crafted, which gives 25BTC (the current reward) to yourself: 916d849af76 Building the next block: Now, let's use a gross approximation of what a new block might look like (the real one uses binary format). It contains the hash of the previous block and the hashes of those 3 transactions: 00000000000001adf44c7d69767585--5572eca4dd4-db7d0c0b845-916d849af76-- Now let's do mining by hand! Our goal is to complete this block with a nonce (a piece of garbage) such that the hash of the new block starts with 13 zeros (consid

HOW GOOGLE'S NEW A.I. MICROCHIPS TAKE A PAGE FROM BITCOIN MINERS

Yesterday at Google’s I/O developers conference , CEO Sundar Pichai briefly spoke about a custom-built chip that helps give Google its edge in machine learning and artificial intelligence. The chip, dubbed a TPU or Tensor Processing Unit (in keeping with Google's A.I. platform TensorFlow ), is specifically wrought for running Google’s decision-making algorithms. Most companies like Facebook and Microsoft use GPUs for their machine learning and artificial intelligence.But Pichai’s speech and the accompanying blog post only reveal a few details about TPUs. About the only useful thing we know about the chip is that it’s an ASIC, or application-specific integrated circuit. ASIC chips aren’t bought off the shelves, but designed specifically to do one task very well without using a lot of power. They’re used in applications that never change, like the controlling how a phone battery charges. .............................. [ read full story ] Tags : Bitcoin, Business,
