What are the benefits of MIFARE PLUS EV1 Cards?

MIFARE® PLUS EV1 Cards are one of the most popular choices within the smart card industry. In fact, businesses across the globe are using this technology. In this blog, we will be taking a more in-depth look at the benefits of this card and what it is that makes them such a popular choice.

Flexibility

Amongst other key features, it is remarkable how versatile the MIFARE EV1 1K Card is, with its ability to be used across multiple applications. Your organisation can add future applications when needed, whilst being able to rely upon the known and trusted technology of an already established product. In addition to this, you can use the MIFARE Application Directory (MAD) to make it even simpler to support additional future applications on the MIFARE Plus EV1. Using the MIFARE Plus EV1 cards, you can even operate non-security relevant applications on existing CRYPTO1 infrastructure in order to drive down the cost of ownership.

Highly Secure

The MIFARE® Plus EV1 chip uses Advanced Encryption Security, Level 3, otherwise known as AES. AES is based upon open global standards which span across data encryption, data integrity protection and also authentication. This means that you can be well assured the data contained within your MIFARE PLUS EV1 Cards is well protected.

Easy Integration

In addition to its multi-application ability, the MIFARE PLUS EV1 cards are able to be seamlessly integrated with existing MIFARE® technologies. This means that your cards offer a simple upgrade path for your existing infrastructure.

Increased Memory

Different variants that use EEPROM sizes up to 4k are available and enable you to cater for the ever-increasing number of contactless applications and therefore the need for a growing memory capacity.

Remotely Manage Card Content

AES can also be used to make end-to-end channel communication secure. This is a new adaptation which enables you to remotely manage card content over-the-air, and, this even includes Crypto1 operated applications! This means that you can create additional applications remotely even after card issuance and rely upon this being secure. This can bring down the total cost of ownership even further.
