Mifare DESFire Card Technology

• Ideal for high security sites, Mifare DESfire includes a cryptographic module on the card itself to add an additional layer of Triple DES encryption to the card / reader transaction
• This is the highest standard of card security currently available, however it does come with some disadvantages
• The additional cryptographic module requires additional energy to operate, meaning it must remain even further inside the RF field resulting in a further reduced read range of 1-2cm or 0.4-0.8”
