HID Global’s MIFARE DESFire EV3 features AES128 encryption, a secure channel for protecting card data from man-in-the-middle attacks, and a random unique identifier (UID) for protecting user privacy. The credential works with readers based on MIFARE DESFire EV1 and EV2 products and is interoperable with other product offerings. Users can choose standard or custom security profiles to meet their specific needs, while protecting a credential’s identity data through key diversification, authentication signatures and encryption. Users can create multi-technology cards with HID’s credential based on NXP MIFARE DESFire EV3 to provide a migration path from vulnerable legacy, low-frequency 125 kHz-based systems to modern and secure credential technology.
