High security and fraud protection
Secured MIFARE Card Format
Secured MIFARE is the compromise between secured cards and cost. Card data is protected with a diversified
authentication key and encrypted with an AES256 algorithm. These cards are not as secure as DESFire EV1 but still
provide high security against cloning. This card mode can be used on all MIFARE 1K (S50) cards and tags.
