What is a DESFire card?

Page 1. HID MIFARE® DESFire® EV1 cards are designed for diverse applications that demand the highest levels of security, including access control and biometric identification, cashless vending, public transportation, ticketing and customer loyalty cards.

What does DESFire mean?

Acronym. Definition. DESFire. Data Encryption Standard Fast, Innovative, Reliable and Secure (contactless smart card)

Is Mifare DESFire secure?

MIFARE DESFire provides the most secure, practically unbreakable 128 bit encryptions. In a MIFARE DESFire EV1 transponder there are 28 applications, each containing 32 files. Encrypted data is stored in those files in these applications which can further be protected with security keys.

What is Mifare DESFire 4K?

It features a 4K byte non volatile memory, a high speed triple-DES data encryption co-processor, a flexible memory organization structure, a mutual 3-pass authentication technique together with a true random number generator and an anti-tear mechanism to guarantee data integrity during contactless transactions.

Can iPhone read MIFARE?

The iPhone will scan a wide variety of NFC tags including NFC Forum Type 2 tags. This includes the popular NTAG®, MIFARE® and ICODE® series chips. The iPhone will not respond to tags without encoding.

Can MIFARE card be cloned?

The common Mifare Card (UID Read-only) can be used to clone valid cards.

Is Mifare an RFID?

Mifare is a trademark of NXP Semiconductors for integrated circuits and reader modules. Mifare ICs are used in more than 1 billion RFID transponders. These chips comply with the international standard ISO/IEC 14443 Type A, which is widely used in contactless smart cards. In other words, Mifare is a brand of RFID.

Can iPhone read Mifare?

Can Mifare card be cloned?

Can I use my iPhone as RFID card?

iPhones, like all modern smartphones, come equipped with a standard Bluetooth chip. These chips emit signals in the radio wave range and turn your iPhone into a sort of RFID emitter. Here you’ll find a picture of your typical smartphone Bluetooth chip—note that those distances are in centimeters, not inches!

Which is the third generation MIFARE DESFire IC?

MIFARE DESFire EV2 is the third generation of the MIFARE DESFire products family succeeding MIFARE DESFire EV1 Contactless IC. It is functionally backward compatible with both MIFARE DESFire EV1 and MIFARE DESFire D40 (MF3ICD40). Figure 1 shows the relationship between the three generations of MIFARE DESFire products.

How is data encrypted on MIFARE DESFire EV1?

MIFARE DESFire EV1 data can be encrypted with the highly secure Advanced Encryption Standard (AES 128) algorithm assuring that data in the card is secure before, during and after the transaction, as well as between folders and files within the credential itself. 13.56 MHz MIFARE DESFire EV1 read/write technology combined with 125 kHz HID

Is the DESFire Mullion reader compatible with OSDP?

This protocol recommended by ANSSI uses data encryption (AES) and two-way “reader-controller” authentication to ensure security before any communication is allowed between the reader and the management system. Reader are compatible with the communication protocol SIA Open Supervised Device Protocol – OSDP™ V1 et V2.

Is the MIFARE DESFire compatible with NFC reader?

Its open concept allows for future seamless integration of other media such as smart paper tickets, key fobs and mobile ticketing based on Near Field Communication (NFC) technology. It is also fully compatible with the existing NFC reader hardware platform.
