NXP Semiconductors’ MIFARE Plus contactless smartcard CPU IC (MF1PLUSx0y1) has been awarded Common Criteria EAL 4+ certification by the German Federal Office for Information Security. In addition, MIFARE Plus has proven successful in independent security reviews conducted by leading cryptography experts from two universities in Europe, which executed a thorough security and privacy assessment of the architecture of MIFARE Plus.
MIFARE Plus technology features 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) and supports migration from existing MIFARE Classic implementations. The contactless microcontroller IC offers an upgrade path for system integrators and operators wishing to implement additional layers of security to their automatic fare collection, access management and micro-payment installations.
The independent third-party validation of MIFARE Plus offers NXP’s customers a high degree of certainty that the technology is providing advanced security. The Common Criteria certification validates correct implementation of the promised security features, evaluates attack resistance and allows system integrators to assess the security quality of similar products. Working with leading universities in the area of IT security and cryptography has enabled NXP to tap into the latest cryptographic research and validate the technologies’ security features.
