NXP’s new MIFARE Ultralight C, the latest IC in the MIFARE family of contactless identification technology, supports open standard 3DES cryptography for authentication of disposable ticketing solutions against fraud and cloning.
The Ultralight C facilitates an easy implementation into contactless applications for events, loyalty vouchers and limited use transportation tickets. It offers extended user memory compared to MIFARE Ultralight, easy integration into existing MIFARE infrastructures and a range of additional security features.
The chip’s open standard 3DES hardware for authentication protects data access and allows solution providers the flexibility to determine which parts of the user memory they want to protect when designing new applications. Its 16-bit counter facilitates application design and can be used as a value counter in pre-paid environments and as a trip counter in transportation systems.
MIFARE Ultralight C is certified to the ISO/IEC 14443 A standard and is designed to be suitable for emerging NFC Forum Tag 2 applications, such as URL linking, Bluetooth pairing and smart posters, which can be accessed with NFC enabled mobile devices. The IC contains a 192 Byte EEPROM and supports bitwise anti-collision at data rates up to 106 Kbps.
