Selection of user’s contactless card type (MIFARE® and/or DESFire®)
Contactless Card type
Since the MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family terminals are equipped with a contactless smartcard
reader that is compatible with MIFARE® and DESFire® cards, the administrator can specify the
type of card to be supported by the terminal..
MIFARE® cards only,
or DESFire® 3DES cards only,
or DESFire® AES cards only,
or MIFARE® and DESFire® 3DES cards,
or MIFARE® and DESFire® AES cards,
or MIFARE® and DESFire® AES and 3DES cards.
The MorphoAccess® SIGMA Family terminals are able to read both DESFire® and DESFire® EV1
smartcards.
The AES cipher is only supported on DESFire® EV1 cards.
The 3DES cipher used on DESFire® EV1 cards is the same as the one used on DESFire® cards (i.e.
it is the backward compatibility mode, not the new 3DES cipher).
Parameter Configuration
The administrator can configure the following parameter values to specify the type of
contactless smartcard that can be allowed by the access control application.
