General description

MIFARE DESFire Light (MF2DL(H)x0) is a versatile contactless smart card platform

serving the requirements of applications managed by one single entity. Offering a

powerful mix between performance, security, privacy and flexibility. It addresses the

needs of limited use and simple extended use applications. Based on these parameters

MIFARE DESFire Light is a trusted platform targeting the secure authentication of people

with an intuitive convenient user experience.

MIFARE DESFire Light is fully compliant with the contactless proximity smart card

protocol according to ISO/IEC 14443-4 and ISO/IEC 7816-4 communication frames

making it compatible with the majority of existing contactless infrastructure devices and

with NFC devices, such as NFC enabled mobile handsets. Its contactless performance

supports superior user convenience and reading distances up to 10 cm.

MIFARE DESFire Light has a file-based memory structure compliant to ISO/IEC 7816-4

with a fixed, pre-defined configuration of six individual files (EF). The pre-defined

configuration enables various use cases and allows the management of data according

to best practice. Organized in one single directory (DF) and configurable access rights

per file it enables different use cases of one issuing instance. MIFARE DESFire Light

offers three individual standard data files with totally 544 bytes of memory for storage of

application-specific data. The value file with a stored signed integer value and an upper

and lower limit enables fast, flexible and secure implementation of monetary transactions,

e.g. for micropayment applications. The cyclic record file with 4 entries of 16 bytes each

enables an on-card logging of transactions.

As a contactless platform, MIFARE DESFire Light includes a powerful transaction

management. This transaction management ensures data and transaction consistency

supporting applications with the avoidance of disrupted or incomplete transactions. The

optional Transaction Message Authentication (TMAC) further enables operators of, e.g.,

payment applications with a cryptographic checksum over the complete transaction

enabling the verification of a transaction by a clearing entity.

MIFARE DESFire Light offers AES-based security features for authentication and data

transfer over the contactless interface. The required level of security is defined by the

needs of the application and can be done on a file basis. With 5 customer defined keys,

MIFARE DESFire Light supports a key management addressing the organizational and

security needs of the issuing entity.

Beside the standard AES implementation, MIFARE DESFire Light offers an alternative

AES-based protocol for authentication and secure messaging using a Leakage Resilient

Primitive, LRP. The LRP works as a wrapper around the AES cryptography and

enhances side-channel and fault resistance.

MIFARE DESFire Light contains features like the fully encrypted communication mode

enabling contactless applications to address privacy sensitive applications. With its

optional support of Random ID, it enables compliance with latest user data protection

regulations.

Users of MIFARE DESFire Light can change the application identifier (AID) and the file

identifiers (FID) according to their needs enabling compatibility with existing data models.

This further enables users to complement their use cases with an NFC forum-compliant

Type 4 Tag in order to enable additional, end-user centric services, such as business

card sharing or pairing with a network.

MIFARE DESFire Light is compatible with MIFARE DESFire EV2, a secure multiapplication

platform. Through this compatibility single application running on

MIFARE DESFire Light can become part of a multi-application solution, combining

applications from different entities, with minimal system impact.

MIFARE DESFire Light is designed to support standards Class 1 smart cards antenna

designs with a 17 pF input capacitance as well as smaller form factors, i.e. key fobs,

wristbands, by providing 50 pF input capacitance delivery forms. This ensures high user

convenience throughout different form factors.
