Careers at NXP
We're always looking for passionate and talented people to work with us.
Join our teamMIFARE® DESFire®
Based on open global standards for both RF interface and cryptographic methods, our MIFARE DESFire product family provides highly secure microcontroller-based ICs. Its name DESFire references the use of DES, 2K3DES, 3K3DES, and AES hardware cryptographic engines for securing transmission data.
This family includes MIFARE DESFire EV1, MIFARE DESFire EV2 and MIFARE DESFire Light products. They’re ideally suited for solution developers and system operators building reliable, interoperable, and scalable contactless smart card solutions. MIFARE DESFire products enable multiapplication smart card solutions for identity, access control, loyalty, and micropayment applications, as well as in transport schemes.
