MIFARE DESFire vs. UID
MIFARE DESFire and UID technologies have some major differences in their ability to store, process and secure data.
UID applications are based on reading the transponder’s unique serial number, UID. MIFARE DESFire can store multiple amounts of data in transponders’ memory blocks and protect it with encryption and unique security keys. MIFARE DESFire provides the most secure, practically unbreakable 128 bit encryptions.
UID transponder’s structure:
In a MIFARE DESFire EV1 transponder there are 28 applications, each containing 32 files. Encrypted data is stored in those files in these applications which can further be protected with security keys. Better memory capacity in MIFARE DESFire transponders means more space to store data. This enables more diverse functions and enhanced security.
The following example is a structure of a MIFARE DESFire EV1 transponder:
