====== Overview ======

MIFARE DESFire EV1 card operates at 13.56 MHz wireless frequency, according to the ISO 14443A standard with the transport protocol complying to the ISO 14443-4 standard. It features a 4K byte NVM, a high speed triple-DES data encryption co-processor, a flexible memory organization structure, a mutual 3-pass authentication technique together with a true random number generator and an anti-tear mechanism to guarantee data integrity during contactless transactions. It can be applied to multiple applications that needed high security, such as, entrance guard system, staff attendance, company access, identification and so on.

===== 1.Security Related Commands ====

====  1.1 Authenticate ====

Click "Authenticate" to  complete the card authentication. When "DESFire authenticated" appears, it indicates that the authentication is successful. This procedure not only confirms that both entities can trust each other but also generates a session key which can be used to keep the further communication path secure. After the authentication procedure is successfully, the further operation on PICC, application, file, file data can be executed.
