What is MIFARE Plus?
MIFARE Plus is a series of 13.56 MHz High-Frequency (HF) smart card chips that comply with the ISO/IEC 14443 Type A standard (the same standard used by NFC). Its primary purpose is to provide a secure and cost-effective migration path for systems currently using the older, less secure MIFARE Classic cards, allowing them to upgrade to stronger AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) security. Here is a more detailed explanation: Security Enhancement: MIFARE Plus implements AES-128 encryption for enhanced security, addressing the vulnerabilities in MIFARE Classic's CRYPTO1 cipher. Backward Compatibility: MIFARE Plus is designed to be compatible with existing MIFARE Classic readers and infrastructures, allowing for a smooth transition to higher security levels without major system changes. Versatile Applications: MIFARE Plus is used in various applications like access control, public transportation, and identity authentication where enhanced security is a require...
