Mifare Plus and Mifare Classic are products from the NXP Mifare family. After the security collapse of Mifare Classic, NXP released a new generation of contactless cards to fill the gap, namely Mifare Plus.
All MIFARE cards meet the requirements of the ISO14443A industry standard and, like other contactless cards, use an internal antenna and chip that reacts once the card is within the reader’s magnetic field. All MIFARE cards operate at 13.56MHz and are manufactured by NXP Semiconductors (part of Phillips Electronics).
Benefits of Mifare Plus
The MIFARE Plus product family is a gateway to new smart city applications and a compelling security upgrade to legacy infrastructure. It offers seamless upgrades to existing MIFARE Classic systems, with product-based installation and service at a minimal cost.
To facilitate the migration of existing applications, the Mifare chip retains the memory model of the classic card: the card is structured as a 16-byte array of blocks, which are grouped into sectors of 4 or 16 blocks. Security (and access control) is performed on a per sector basis. Plus’s two benefits are its new security scheme (EAL 4+ authentication), a password-based on a state-of-the-art 128-bit key, and its optional random ID-3, which helps address cardholder privacy concerns.
