The MIFARE DESFire Light card from NXP is a simplified, low-cost DESFire card with a pre-defined file system. It is intended to support a single application, using the latest DESFire EV2 commands with an upgrade path to the multi-application DESFire EV2 range. It can be used in various applications from access management to ticketing and loyalty. The MIFARE DESFire Light card operates at 13.56 MHz, according to ISO 14443A, and also complies with NFC standards. It has 640 bytes of total available memory, roughly equivalent to that on a legacy MIFARE Classic 1k card.

The MIFARE DESFire Light card comes with an impressive array of security options. The card supports up to five customer‑defined AES 128‑bit keys, mutual 3‑pass authentication, a transaction counter and a configurable secure messaging mode. Random ID and an anti-tear mechanism guarantee data integrity during contactless transactions. There is also an elliptic-curve-based 'originality signature' that identifies both the card and data origin. The hardware and software in DESFire Light chips have been certified to Common Criteria EAL4.

These cards typically operate at a distance of up to 5cm, depending on the power provided by the reader. The card can also be configured as an NFC forum type 4 tag, allowing it to interact with mobile devices with NFC card reading capabilities.

Please check that your systems are compatible with DESFire Light prior to ordering a large quantity of these cards. Legacy applications that use previous generation (DESFire EV1) commands and file structures may not work without some adjustment.

Supplied as blank, white, printable PVC cards to ISO standard size and thickness in packs of 100. Our cards contain only original NXP chips and use premium quality materials and production methods in order to ensure maximum performance, reliability and compatibility.
