What is a MIFARE Card?

• A MIFARE card is a type of contactless smart card that operates using radio frequency identification (RFID) technology. Developed by NXP Semiconductors (formerly Philips Semiconductor), MIFARE cards are widely used for various applications such as access control, public transportation ticketing, and electronic payment systems.
• These cards contain a microchip that stores information and communicates with card readers via radio waves. MIFARE cards come in different versions, with the most common ones being MIFARE Classic, MIFARE Plus, and MIFARE DESFire. Each version offers different levels of security, memory capacity, and compatibility with existing systems.
• MIFARE technology has become prevalent in many sectors due to its convenience, reliability, and security features. It's often found in transportation systems for fare collection, in buildings for access control, and in various other applications where secure and efficient contactless identification is needed.
