MIFARE Plus 2K 4K PVC-PET-PETG Card

MIFARE Plus brings benchmark security to mainstream contactless smart card applications. It is the only mainstream IC compatible with MIFARE Classic offering a seamless upgrade path, with minimal effort, for existing infrastructure and services.

NXP MIFARE Plus is based on open global standards both for air interface and cryptographic methods.

It is available in two versions:

• MIFARE Plus S, the Slim version for straightforward migration of MIFARE Classic systems, and
• MIFARE Plus X, the eXpert version, which offers more flexibility to optimise the command flow for speed, privacy and confidentiality. MIFARE Plus X offers a rich feature set, including proximity checks against relay attacks.

MIFARE Plus is fully functional backwards compatible with MIFARE Classic 1 K / 4 K. Interoperability with MIFARE Classic has been verified by the independent MIFARE Certification Institute.

MIFARE Plus enables cards to be introduced seamlessly into existing MIFARE Classic applications, before the infrastructure is upgraded. Once the security upgrades are in place, MIFARE Plus cards can be switched to a more secure mode in the field with no customer interaction necessary.

AES (advanced encryption standard) is then being used for authentication, encryption and data integrity.

MIFARE Plus supports high-speed communication between card and terminal at up to 848 kbps/s, for time-critical services. The read-range of up to 10 cm increases the convenience of the touch-and-go experience.

MIFARE Plus is certified to 'Common Criteria Certification: EAL4+ for IC HW and SW'.
