We present a simple attack on a Java Card smart card to perform arbitrary memory reads. The attack utilises a known technique of type confusion of the card’s Java Virtual Machine by exploiting the faulty transaction mechanism implementation. The type confusion attack lets us access the application’s private meta-data, reverse engineer it, and in turn get full read and write access to arbitrary ...
