General description

Migrate classic contactless smart card systems to the next security level! MIFARE Plus

brings benchmark security to mainstream contactless smart card applications. It is the

only mainstream IC compatible with MIFARE Classic 1K (MF1ICS50) and MIFARE

Classic 4K (MF1ICS70) which offers an upgrade path for existing infrastructure and

services.

After the security upgrade, MIFARE Plus uses AES-128 (Advanced Encryption Standard)

for authentication, data integrity and encryption. MIFARE Plus is based on open global

standards for both air interface and cryptographic methods at the highest security level.

MIFARE Plus is available in two versions: MIFARE Plus X and MIFARE Plus S.

flexibility to optimize the command flow for speed and confidentiality. It offers a rich

feature set including proximity checks against relay attacks.
