Design & Applications
MIFARE® Plus brings benchmark AES security to contactless smart card applications. It offers the benefit of a seamless upgrade of existing MIFARE® Classic installations and services with minimum effort. This results into the possibility to issue cards, being fully backwards compatible to MIFARE® Classic, into existing system environments prior to infrastructure security upgrades. After the security upgrade MIFARE Plus uses AES security for authentication, data integrity and encryption, which is based on open, global standards.
