Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ): MIFARE DESFire

1. What is it and what makes it diffrent?

A MIFARE DESFire card is a high-frequency contactless smart card designed for advanced security applications. It supports multiple applications on a single card (e.g., building access, payments, public transit), features large memory options (2K, 4K, 8K), and utilizes 3DES or AES encryption for secure data management and mutual authentication.

2. Which version should I choose: DESFire EV1, EV2, or EV3?

All versions offer high security and flexibility, but EV2 and EV3 include additional features like faster transaction speeds, enhanced file management, and improved anti-cloning technologies. We recommend EV3 for the latest, most secure deployments; EV1/EV2 for legacy or cost-sensitive projects.

4. Are these cards compatible with standard readers?

MIFARE DESFire cards are ISO/IEC 14443A compliant and work with all compatible DESFire and MIFARE readers. For advanced use, your reader/software should support DESFire protocols.

5. Can I personalize these cards?

Absolutely. We offer full personalization: high-quality logo printing, variable data (barcode, UID, QR), and pre-encoding for immediate use in your system.

6. What security features protect them from hacking?

DESFire cards use advanced 3DES or AES hardware encryption, mutual authentication, and file-level key management, making them among the most secure RFID cards on the market. Optional anti-counterfeit visuals are also available.

3. Can they be used for both access control and payment?

Yes! DESFire cards are ideal for multi-application use, allowing one card to manage secure building entry, cashless payments, transport ticketing, and more. Each application remains protected and isolated via secure encryption.

7. What is the usual production and shipping time?

Production time is 7–10 business days for custom-printed Ultralight cards. Rush production and worldwide express shipping options are available.
