It is Common Criteria EAL5+ secured, offering the same level of security certification as demanded by smart card IC products used for banking cards or electronic passports.
Gallagher offers a variety of mifare desfire EV2 programmable cards and key fobs which are a great fit for various use cases such as transit ticketing, access control and mobile ticketing based on NFC technology. Featuring 3DES and modern AES encryption, these programmable contactless cards can store up to 28 different application files with 32 file configurations per application. Designed with a simple application directory structure, the card can also be moderated to follow ISO/IEC 7816-4 commands.
Multi-Application Support
The DESFire family consists of chips that offer the perfect balance between speed, performance and cost efficiency. 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 fully compatible with existing NFC reader hardware platforms.
The new DESFire EV2 is a flexible, secure and low-cost contactless IC for diverse applications. The DESFire EV2 enables the implementation of new business models based on multi-application solutions and offers the ability to support both closed-loop e-payment and local loyalty schemes in a single card. The DESFire EV2 is based on global open standards for both air interface and encryption methods.
Featuring a 3DES encoding algorithm, the DESFire EV1 chip offers high contactless security and protection against unauthorized reading and writing of data. Its on-chip backup management system and mutual three-pass authentication ensure transaction-oriented data integrity. The DESFire EV1 chip supports up to 28 different applications with 32 files per application. The size of each file is defined when the application is created.
The MIFARE DESFire EV3 sets the bar even higher for security levels in proximity transactions. It is Common Criteria EAL 5+ security certified, a standard for secure IC products. It is the first contactless IC to implement transaction time verification, protecting against man-in-the-middle attacks. Moreover, the DESFire EV3 is equipped with mifare desfire 4k advanced crypto algorithms to protect against spoofing and replay attacks, and has a security mechanism that prevents the cloning of a device.
Enhanced Performance
The NXP MIFARE DESFire family of contactless IC products is a good choice for developers and service operators who want to build reliable, interoperable, scalable contactless solutions. It is based on open global standards for both RF interfaces and encryption methods with the option to use 3DES or modern AES hardware encryption engines for security purposes.
The MIFARE DESFire EV3 4k chip is an evolution of the MIFARE DESFire family and is backwards compatible with its predecessors. It offers superior performance, state-of-the-art security and privacy, multi-application support as well as improved data transfer rates compared to previous versions.
MIFARE DESFire EV3 is Common Criteria EAL5+ certified, the same level of security certification demanded for smart card ICs used e.g. for banking cards and electronic passports. This allows the MIFARE EV3 to be easily integrated into existing systems for secure, reliable and high performance applications like public transport schemes, access control and closed-loop e-payment.
Gallagher’s PVC ISO-sized MIFARE DESFire cards are programmable, printable and punchable to suit all types of direct image and thermal transfer printers. They come with an anti-tear coating, a PVC core and a transparent overlay for optimal personalisation results and are supplied in a standard ISO format. They are also available with a magnetic stripe, visual security features or a custom logo to provide additional card protection in harsh environments.
Open Concept
The second evolution of the MIFARE DESFire product family delivers superior performance and state-of-the-art security, privacy and enhanced multi-application support to enable new business models. This is achieved by implementing break through features such as MIsmartApp with multiple key sets and Transaction MAC which significantly enhances application security.
MIFARE DESFire EV2 is Common Criteria EAL5+ security certified which is the same security certification level demanded for smart card IC products used in banking cards or electronic passports. It is also compliant to the NFC Forum Type 4 Tag IC specification making it highly interoperable with existing NFC reader infrastructure.
In comparison to MIFARE 1K, the DESFire EV2 chip offers a much greater capacity of data storage by using four times more sectors in the memory. Moreover, a MIFARE DESFire EV2 chip can store up to 28 different applications and 32 files per application. The size of each file is determined at the time of creation and the on-chip backup management system along with the mutual three pass authentication makes this a truly versatile and convenient product.
This MIFARE DESFire 4K RFID card is designed for diverse contactless applications including door-control systems, access control, cashless vending, public transportation ticketing and customer loyalty cards. The DESFire EV2 ICs offer a perfect balance of speed, performance and cost-efficiency while offering the highest levels of security.
