MIFARE DESFire EV1 Genuine HID Card

Featuring the MIFARE DESFire EV1 contactless smart card chip, this Genuine HID card is perfect for adding more applications to existing Prox-based systems. This enables institutions to take advantage of the many new benefits offered by EV2.

EV1 cards have a 4K chip that is comprised of thirty-two sectors with four blocks each. These chips offer a high level of security, including mutual authentication and data encryption on the chip and during communication with a reader.

EV1 is a contactless smart card

MIFARE DESFire EV1 is a contactless smart card that can be used for a variety of applications, including access control, cashless vending and public transportation. It offers fast and secure data transmission and flexible memory organization. It is based on open global standards for both air interface and cryptographic methods. It contact smart card also complies with all four levels of ISO 14443A and uses optional ISO 7816-4 commands.

The EV1 chip is one of the most secure in NXP’s MIFARE family, and it is designed to protect against proximity attacks. It uses a DES, 3K3DES, or AES hardware encryption engine to encrypt transmission data. It is also protected by a unique security mechanism that prevents access to the encryption key without a valid reader response. This feature can eliminate many of the potential points of failure in a system.

The EV1 chip is not a replacement for the more advanced MIFARE Plus, but it is an excellent option for those who want to upgrade their existing MIFARE system. The EV1 chip has backward compatibility with the systems that were implemented for MIFARE DESFire, and it can work for the same NFC reader. It also offers rolling keysets in a case where an encryption key is compromised by adversaries. This feature can help the administrator to replace the compromised keys in a short time, which will keep their systems secure and operational.

EV1 is secure

The DESFire chip by NXP is one of the most secure radio-frequency chips available. The IC uses a combination of DES, 2K3DES, and 3K3DES hardware encryption to protect data transmission. This is a very secure and inviolable method of protecting data, making it nearly impossible to hack. Moreover, EV1 supports a number of features that make it even more secure.

In addition to security, EV1 offers high read/write speeds and a consumer-friendly system design. This allows users to experience convenient contactless functionality, including payments and event ticketing. Its secure communication protocol complies with ISO 14443-4 and uses a bi-directional reader-host OSDP V2 protocol. Moreover, it includes a transaction timer feature that can help mitigate man-in-the-middle attacks by setting a limit on the total amount of time an attack can last.

Another advantage of EV1 is its backward compatibility with MIFARE Classic-based systems. It also adds a new security layer to the existing MIFARE Plus protocol, which provides protection against side-channel attacks. In addition, it supports a basic versioning protocol and enables the card to send its major software version using command code 0x60. This byte, which contains the version number, is stored on both the card and the reader. This makes it possible for the card to communicate with its system provider to verify its software version, enabling it to avoid counterfeit cards and fraudulent transactions.

EV1 is flexible

MIFARE DESFire EV1 is an ideal contactless smart card chip for solution providers and system operators to build reliable and interoperable contactless systems. This Common Criteria EAL4+ certified IC is designed to support multi-application smart cards in identity, access control and mifare desfire ev1 loyalty applications as well as open or closed-loop transport schemes. Its reprogrammable memory architecture provides the flexibility to implement different application-specific functions.

Mifare DESFire EV1 is a secure card that uses on-chip backup management and mutual three pass authentication to protect against data theft or manipulation. It is also designed to provide high-speed read/write transactions, and a reading range of up to 848 Kbits/s. It has a built-in error correction code to ensure a high level of data security.

Unlike some cheap RFID cards that have changeable UIDs, MIFARE DESFire EV1 has an integrated MAC address to ensure that the card is authentic and that it is not being used by someone else. This feature prevents the card from being reprogrammed or cloned. MIFARE DESFire EV2 is a more advanced version of EV1. It has longer read/write range, supports AES encryption and offers new security provisions. However, it is backward compatible with EV1.

MIFARE DESFire cards are designed to deliver the perfect balance of cost efficiency and performance. They are a cost-effective option for transit agencies, transportation companies and other organizations looking to add additional services to their existing card infrastructure. These cards can be produced with visual security and anti-counterfeiting features such as holograms, ultraviolet fluorescent inks, micro-printing or custom logo to help prevent fraud and tampering.

EV1 is affordable

MIFARE DESFire EV1 is an affordable option for institutions that need to upgrade their contactless card system. The EV1 chip supports up to 1 million read/write cycles, making it more durable than previous versions of the MIFARE DESFire chips. It also offers new functions, including proximity identification. This feature is particularly useful for security, since it can confirm that a card is in close range of the reader, eliminating the possibility of hacking or fraud.

The MIFARE DESFire EV1 2k is a secure multi-application contactless smart card that supports transport, physical access control, cashless vending, car parking, leisure/sports clubs and event ticketing applications. It is compliant to ISO/IEC 14443A levels 4 and uses optional ISO/IEC 7816-4 commands. The IC features an on-chip backup management system, a mutual three pass authentication technique together with a true random number generator and anti-tear technology to ensure the integrity of data during contactless transactions.

MIFARE DESFire EV1 cards are available with either a standard PVC core or an IOSAT based high-quality chip. These cards are quality checked in every step of the manufacturing process, from raw materials to specifications, collation, lamination, cutting and a final QC test, including a 100% chip check. The cards are then finished in a glossy finish for ease of personalization and have a full copper wire antenna.
