Is MIFARE an NFC or RFID?

MIFARE chip and MIFARE card specifications

RFID radio frequency interface / NFC MIFARE ISO/IEC 14443-A
Data transmission type Tag RFID contactless, passive (no battery)
Communication frequency RFID 13.56 MHz
RFID reader communication speed 106Kbit/s baud rate

Is MIFARE the same as RFID?

Mifare is a trademark of NXP Semiconductors for integrated circuits and reader modules. Mifare ICs are used in more than 1 billion RFID transponders. These chips comply with the international standard ISO/IEC 14443 Type A, which is widely used in contactless smart cards. In other words, Mifare is a brand of RFID.

How many MIFARE cards are there?

four variants
They are sold in four variants: One with Triple-DES only and 4 kiB of storage, and three with AES (2, 4, or 8 kiB; see MIFARE DESFire EV1). The AES variants have additional security features; e.g., CMAC. MIFARE DESFire uses a protocol compliant with ISO/IEC 14443-4.

Is MIFARE a smart card?

FlexSmart®/ MIFARE® DESFire® HID provides the industry’s broadest range of smart card-based credentials such as cards, tags and keyfobs.

Can MIFARE card be cloned?

The easiest way to clone Mifare NFC Classic 1K Cards is by using an Android smartphone with NFC capabilities. That’s right, your cellphone can be used to compromise the security of a company if they are using these types of cards (RFID security system). Just download the “Mifare Classic Tool” for Android.

What frequency is MIFARE?

13.56 MHz
An evolution of “smart” cards, MIFARE cards operate at a frequency of 13.56 MHz (high frequency), and offer higher card ID number capacities. These cards are designed to keep sensitive information safe by utilizing encryption keys.

Are MIFARE cards NFC?

MIFARE ICs can interact with Near Field Communication (NFC), and communicating through NFC means that MIFARE products can also be managed and implemented via NFC-enabled mobile devices, such as smartphones, watches, and more.

Can I use my phone as a MIFARE card?

To emulate a mifare card, you need an application running on your smartphone to simulate the phone as a Mifare Classic card. It makes your smartphone with no difference as a Mifare Classic card.

What is MIFARE 1K card?

MIFARE Classic® 1K is fundamentally used for storing memories, while a simple security mechanism divides the memories into segments. Therefore, it is ideal for high volume transactions in all different applications, such as transport ticketing, time attendance solutions, car parking, road-tolling etc.

Are MIFARE cards secure?

For customers, who demand a higher level of security, we recommend to use Mifare Plus. These cards are AES-encrypted and they do not have any major weaknesses. It is highly unlikely that in near future someone would be able to clone these cards.

Can Mifare card be cloned?

Can Android emulate Mifare?

It is not possible to emulate cards using such low layer protocols using Android HCE. MIFARE Classic protocol partially operates on top of ISO/IEC 14443-3 (with some different framing). Thus, its also not possible to emulate MIFARE Classic using Android HCE. MIFARE DESFire protocols operate on top of ISO/IEC 14443-4.
