Now let's list the technical features of Mifare cards:
- The microprocessor is embedded inside the card, so it is not affected by water or external conditions.
- The information stored on the chip does not degrade or get lost.
- It is not affected by magnets or magnetic environments.
- Because it is a passive card, it does not generate or emit any magnetic wave.
- Copying the card is almost impossible.
- It offers significant advantages over other card-based systems.
- Turnstile use is faster and more trouble-free compared to other cards.
- There is no need for physical contact between the card and the reader. As a result, friction and deformation are not an issue.
- Transactions can be made without removing the card from a bag, wallet, or pocket.
- Mifare Card Specifications: 13.56 MHz, writable memory (1K, 2K, 4K).
- Mifare Card Dimensions: 86 x 54 x 0.8 mm. The card's surface is suitable for color printing.
The Mifare family and security levels
There are different products under the Mifare name. Classic models are widely used in applications such as turnstiles and door access. However, since known security vulnerabilities exist for some versions of these models, products using more advanced encryption are preferred in places that require high security.
Security needs, cost, and reader compatibility should be evaluated together when choosing a card. It is also recommended that up-to-date encryption methods be used for cards employed for access control rather than payment purposes.
