I do not know the underlying protocol for making debit/credit card payments by smart card instead of using the magnetic stripe but if the protocol is sophisticated enough this could help blocking some of the known attacks of those. As <a href="http://www.chipandspin.co.uk/">Chip and SPIN</a> points out the smart cards has some issues.
