HID MIFARE® DESFire® EV1 cards are designed for diverse applications that demand the highest levels of security, including access control and biometric identification, cashless vending, public transportation, ticketing and customer loyalty cards. Available in PVC and Composite PET/PVC card construction, the HID MIFARE DESFire EV1 card is exceptionally durable and can accept an embeddable contact chip for logical access and biometric ID systems

HID MIFARE DESFire EV1 credentials have 8 Kbytes of dynamic memory arranged in easy-to-define application folders and data files. MIFARE DESFire EV1 data can be encrypted with the highly secure Advanced Encryption Standard (AES 128) algorithm assuring that data in the card is secure before, during and after the transaction, as well as between folders and files within the credential itself.

13.56 MHz MIFARE DESFire EV1 read/write technology combined with 125 kHz HID Prox technology can be integrated into a single ISO standard thickness card (custom programming with Indala formats is also available). This converged card is suitable for adding MIFARE DESFire EV1 applications to an existing HID Prox-based access control system.

When security and performance count most, HID's MIFARE DESFire EV1 cards can be produced with visual security and anti-counterfeiting features such as holograms, ultra-violet fluorescent inks, micro-printing or a custom logo to quickly and easily identify genuine cards.
