MIFARE Card Types and Compatibility
MIFARE is a product family, not a single card specification. MIFARE Classic, Ultralight, Plus and DESFire have different capabilities and security characteristics.
- MIFARE Classic: common in many existing access and identification systems.
- MIFARE Ultralight: designed for suitable lightweight applications.
- MIFARE DESFire: supports advanced application and security features in compatible implementations.
- MIFARE Plus: offers security options that depend on product version and configuration.
Compatibility matters: a reader supporting 13.56 MHz does not necessarily support every MIFARE product.
Confirm the chip type, reader model, card format, and required security configuration before ordering.
