RFID Card

Famous RFID tag is NXP Mifare MF-1.

Overview

NXP® has developed the MIFARE® MF1ICS50 to be used in a contactless smart card according to ISO/IEC 14443 Type A.

The MIFARE MF1ICS50 IC is used in applications like public transport ticketing where major cities have adopted MIFARE as their e-ticketing solution of choice.

1.1 Key applications

Public transportation
Access control
Event ticketing
Gaming & identity

1.2 Anticollision

An intelligent anticollision function allows to operate more than one card in the field simultaneously. The anticollision algorithm selects each card individually and ensures that the execution of a transaction with a selected card is performed correctly without data corruption resulting from other cards in the field.

1.3 Simple integration and user convenience

The MF1ICS50 is designed for simple integration and user convenience. Which could allow complete ticketing transactions to be handled in less than 100 ms. Thus, the MF1ICS50 card user is not forced to stop at the reader leading to a high throughput at gates and reduced boarding times onto busses. The MIFARE card may also remain in the wallet during the transaction, even if there are coins in it.

1.4 Security

Mutual three pass authentication (ISO/IEC DIS 9798-2)
Individual set of two keys per sector (per application) to support multi-application with key hierarchy
Unique serial number for each device

EEPROM

1 Kbyte, organized in 16 sectors with 4 blocks of 16 bytes each (one block consists of 16 byte)
User definable access conditions for each memory block
Data retention of 10 years.
