MIFARE DESFire EV1 is ideal for solution developers and providers wanting to combine   and support multiple applications on one contactless smart card. It fully complies with   the requirements for fast and secure data transmission, flexible memory organization, and   interoperability with existing infrastructure.
MIFARE DESFire EV1 is based on open global standards for both air interfaces and cryptographic methods. It is compliant to all four levels of ISO / IEC 14443 A and uses optional
ISO / IEC 7816-4 commands.
Featuring an on-chip backup management system and the mutual three pass authentication, a MIFARE DESFire EV1 card can hold up to 28 different applications and 32 files per application. The size and access conditions of each file are defined at the moment of its creation, making
MIFARE DESFire EV1 a truly flexible and convenient product. Additionally, an automatic anti-tear mechanism is available for all file types, which guarantees transaction oriented data integrity. With MIFARE DESFire EV1, data transfer rates up to 848 Kbit/s can be achieved, making fast data processing possible. The chip’s main characteristics are denoted by its name DESFire EV1, the first evolution of MIFARE DESFire: DES indicates the commitment for high levels of security -

In a typical smart cards organization, there are lots of business activities and element where printing plays a major role. For example, take illustration of ID cards that must be printed at regular intervals to offer identification to new employees. As all these cards are made from plastic, these printing activities come under the purview of thing printing. In today's competitive business environment, it is absolutely imperative for a business to really make the usage of latest technologies it really is its business activities in the-house and outsourced. Printing is certainly one such activity that is certainly generally outsourced because it required specialized people and methods.
