MIFARE DESFire,
MIFARE DESFire is based on open global standards for both air interface and cryptographic methods. It is compliant to all 4 levels of ISO / IEC 14443A and uses optional ISO / IEC 7816-4 commands.
Featuring an on-chip backup management system and the mutual three pass authentication, a MIFARE DESFire card can hold up to 28 different applications and 16 files per application. The size of each file is defined at the moment of its creation, making MIFARE DESFire a truly flexible and convenient product.
Additionally, an automatic anti-tear mechanism is available for all file types, which guarantees transaction oriented data integrity. With MIFARE DESFire, data transfer rates up to 424 Kbit/s can be achieved, making fast data processing possible.
The chip’s main characteristics are denoted by its name DESFire – DES indicates the high level of security MIFARE DESFire achieves using a 3DES hardware cryptographic engine for enciphering transmission data. Fire reflects its outstanding position as a Fast, Innovative, Reliable and sEcure IC in the contactless proximity transaction market.
Hence, MIFARE DESFire brings many benefits to end-users. Cardholders can experience convenient contactless ticketing while also having the possibility to use the same device for related applications such as payment at vending machines, access management or event ticketing. In other words, the MIFARE DESFire silicon solution offers enhanced consumer-friendly system design, in combination with security and reliability.
MIFARE DESFire delivers speed, performance and flexibility. Its open concept allows future seamless integration of other ticketing 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 MIFARE reader hardware platform.
MIFARE DESFire is your ticket to contactless systems worldwide.
