I Find this study completely stupid. When we used to sign, it was very easy to reproduce the signature at the back of the card and make fraudulous transactions that way. Chip and PIN is not entirely safe, nothing is, but you really have to know the PIN code of the card to be able to use it. There might be some people organised to do this, but simply putting a hand on top of the machine when entering your PIN can prevent other people to see. This system has been used in France for years, and if I am not mistaken, there is less identity theft there than there was in the UK with the signing system....
