Supported Transponders – Philips Mifare 1k (S50) (ISO 14443A)
![]() |
13.56 MHz, 8192 bit (1024 byte) read/write passive RFID transponder. Large memory size is organised as 16 sectors, each with it’s own security key codes and access conditions. This allows entirely different applications to use separate memory sectors with unique security keys. In addition, the Mifare cards use a three-pass authentication system and data encryption techniques to make the system very secure. For this reason Mifare cards are often used for financial or ticketing applications where privacy of data and reliable, secure data transactions are essential. The higher frequency operation allows communication rates up to 106 kbaud. Memory is organised as 16-byte Blocks. Groups of 4-Blocks are called Sectors, each having have unique security keys and access conditions. Block 0 contains a factory programmed 4-byte unique serial number (UID) together with other manufacturer and configuration information. Data can be read/written to Blocks (16 bytes) in one operation. Mifare is widely accepted as the Market-leading technology for ISO14443A secure ticketing and access control applications (Transport for London Oyster card for example).
