Ross Anderson is a cryptographer and security researcher at Cambridge University. His home page has links to many publications.
Anderson's book Security Engineering is standard text in the field. The first edition, and a few chapters of the second, are available online.
Anderson's graduate students make a habit of breaking almost every smartcard system that comes out. In 2010, they published a man-in-the-middle attack on EMV or chip-and-pin[1], an authentication system very widely used in banking.
