What is mifare ultralight c IC?

  • The MIFARE Ultralight® C contactless IC is a cost effective solution using the open 3DES cryptographic standard for chip authentication and data access.
  • The widely adopted 3DES standard enables easy integration into existing infrastructures and the integrated authentication command set provides an effective cloning protection that helps to prevent counterfeit of tags.
  • Tickets, vouchers or tags based on MIFARE Ultralight C can act as single trip mass transit tickets, event tickets or as low cost loyalty cards and are also used for device authentication.
  • MIFARE Ultralight C operates according to the ISO/IEC 14443 A standard, allowing an operating distance of up to 10 cm with true anti-collision support. It also offers extended user memory compared to MIFARE Ultralight EV1 and a range of additional security features previously unavailable on low cost contactless ICs. Existing MIFARE Ultralight C product-based solutions benefit from the same authentication commands as being used for MIFARE DESFire EV1. The MIFARE Ultralight C is furthermore compliant to the NFC Tag type 2.

  • Benefits for solution developers:
    Compliance to ISO/IEC 14443 A 1-3
    NFC Forum Type 2 Tag compliant
    Backwards compatibility to MIFARE Ultralight
    Limited integration effort in MIFARE DESFire product-based solutions
    Enhanced security for limited-use applications
    Fast time-to-market
  • KEY BENEFITS:
    - Higher customer throughput and reduced waiting times
    - Lower maintenance costs for the infrastructure
    - Reduced cash handling
    - Greater fraud prevention
    - Ability to prevent cloned tickets
    - Easy system enhancement in limited-use applications
    - Increased convenience and realiability for end users compared to magnetic stripe, barcode, and QR codebased tickets
  • Key applications:
    Limited-use paper tickets and cards with higher security needs:
    - Paper ticketing in public transport
    - Event ticketing (stadiums, exhibitions, festivals, leisure parks, etc.)
    - Loyalty programs
    - Hospitality
  • CONTACTLESS SMART PAPER TICKETING WITH ENHANCED SECURITY
    As the leading limited-use ticketing solution to support 3DES authentication, MIFARE Ultralight C delivers a new level of trust. MIFARE Ultralight C serves markets with higher needs for security and is the ideal contactless replacement for traditional paper tickets, mag stripe, barcode and QR code-based systems.
    With tickets, vouchers, and key cards based on MIFARE Ultralight C, solution providers have a more convenient, more secure way to issue single-trip and multi-use transit tickets, event tickets, access passes, loyalty cards, and more.
  • FASTER DEVELOPMENT
    Proven toolkits, compliance with ISO/IEC 14443 A 3, and backward compatibility with MIFARE Ultralight give developers a faster way to deliver enhanced security in limited-use ticketing applications. By adding MIFARE Ultralight C to their installations, transport operators can avoid having to duplicate the infrastructure while implementing support for limited-use ticketing. Further, MIFARE Ultralight C benefits from the same authentication commands as used in MIFARE DESFire.
  • SIMPLER MANUFACTURING
    Flexible delivery formats, in sawn wafers or modules, simplify manufacturing and ease integration into existing production processes.
  • OPTIMIZED OPERATIONS
    Service providers gain the benefits of reduced maintenance costs and greater fraud prevention, and can use the statistical data generated by the system to optimize operations.
