MIFARE CLASSIC CARDS

Product Description

ïMIFARE DES FIRE CARD

• MIFAREïis theïNXP Semiconductors-owned trademark of accessories ofï chips widely used inïcontact less smart cardsïandïproximity cards
  
• MIFARE products are embodied in contact less and contactï smart cards, smart paper tickets,ï wearables and phones
  
• 
  
• The MIFARE brand name derived from the term MIKRON  FARE Collection andï created by the company MIKRON covers four families of contactless cards

MIFARE Classicï

• Employs a proprietary protocol compliant to parts 1 3 of ISO IEC14443ï ïType A, with an NXP proprietary security protocol for authentication and ciphering. Subtype: MIFARE Classic EV1 other subtypes are no longer in use

MIFARE Plus

• Drop-in replacement for MIFARE Classic with certifiedïsecurity level AES-128 basedï and is fully backwards compatible with MIFARE Classic Subtypes MIFARE Plus S, MIFARE Plus X and MIFARE Plus SE

MIFARE Ultralight

• Low cost ICs that are useful for high volume applications such as public transportï loyalty cards and event ticketing. Subtypes:MIFARE Ultralight C, MIFARE Ultralight EV1 and MIFARE Ultralight Nano.

MIFARE DES Fire

• Contact less ICs that comply to parts 3 and 4 of ISO/IEC 14443-4 Type A with a mask-ROM operating system from NXP. TheïDESïinthe name refers to the use of a DES, two-key 3DES, three-key 3DESand AES encryption; whileïFireïis an acronym forïFast innovative reliable and enhanced. Subtypes: MIFARE DES Fire EV1,MIFARE DES Fire EV2.
• There is also the MIFARE SAM AV2 contact smart card. This can be used to handle the encryption in communicating with the contact less cards. The SAM (Secure Access Module) provides the secure storage ofïcryptographicïkeys and cryptographic functions.

MIFAREDES Fire family

The MIFARE DES Fire MF3ICD40 was introduced in 2002 and is based on a core similar toïSmart MX ,with more hardware and software security features than MIFARE Classic. It comes pre-programmed with the general purpose MIFAREDES Fire operating system which offers a simple directory structure and files. They are sold in four variants: One with Triple-DES only and 4 kB of storage, and three with AES 2, 4, or 8 KB; see MIFAREDES Fire EV1 The AES variants have additional security features e.g.ï CMAC. MIFARE DES Fire uses a protocol compliant with ISO/IEC 14443-4.[9]ïThe contact less IC is based on anï8051processorïwith 3DES/AES cryptographic accelerator, making very fast transactions possible.

The maximal read/write distance between card and reader is 10centimetres 3.9ïin but actual distance depends on the field power generated by the reader and its antenna size.

In 2010, NXP announced the discontinuation of the MIFARE DES Fire MF3ICD40 after it had introduced its successor MIFARE DESFire EV1 MF3ICD41 in late2008. In October 2011 researchers of Ruhr University Bochumï announced that they had broken the security of MIFAREDES Fire (MF3ICD40), which was acknowledged by NXP seeïMIFAREDES Fire attacks.

MIFARE DESFireEV1

New evolution of MIFARE DES Fire contact less IC, broadly backwards compatible. Available with 2ïkB,4ïkB, and 8ïkB non-volatile memory. Other features include

• Support for random ID.

• Support for 128-bitïAES

• Hardware and operating system areïCommon Criteriaïcertified at levelïEALï4+

MIFARE DESï Fire EV1 was publicly announced in November2006.[citation needed]

Key applications:

• Advanced public transportation

• Access management

• Loyalty

• Micro payment

MIFARE DESFireEV2

The latest evolution of the MIFAREDES Fire contact less IC family, broadly backwards compatible.[13]ïNew features include:

• MI smart App enabling to offer or sell memory space for additional applications of 3rd parties without the need to share secret keys

• Transaction MAC to authenticate transactions by 3rd parties

• Virtual Card Architecture for privacy protection

• Proximity check against relay attacks

MIFARE DES Fire EV2 was publicly announced in March 2016 at the IT-TRANS event in Karlsruhe, Germany.
