2N® PICard Commander 1. Product Overview 2N® PICard Commander is a software application used for the encryption of login data on access cards. The application creates projects that generate a set of encryption and reading keys. The reading keys can be imported to 2N devices or 2N® Access Commander for distribution to the connected 2N devices. The technology 2N® PICard is designed for the encryption of MIFARE® DESFire® EV2 and MIFARE® DESFire® EV3 cards.

2N® PICard Commander 2. Installation and License Reading Install 2N® PICard Commander in a standard way using the installer. License Adding Note • The license is tied to a specific USB card reader. To get the license, complete the reader Device key, which can be found in the 2N® PICard Commander (Help → License) license info section. Make sure that the card reader is connected to your PC before displaying the key.
2N® PICard Commander 3. Project Starting projects makes it possible to encrypt groups of access cards in variable modes. You can set every project for a specific card purpose. The project generates a set of encryption and reading keys. You can load the reading keys of just one project into a device or 2N® Access Commander. Starting New Project Once the application is open, press Start new project to create a new project. Alternative path: File → New project.
2N® PICard Commander card encryption. The reading keys of the lost project already uploaded into the 2N device will be valid for newly encrypted cards too. Warning • The main encryption key cannot be displayed or changed later. Tip • It is important to keep both the project file and the main encryption key (MEK) to enhance security. The ideal solution is to store the main encryption key (MEK) in a safe offline space, e.g. a vault, safe box, etc.
2N® PICard Commander Warning • After the cards are encrypted under a new AID, export the encryption keys again. The earlier encrypted cards with an old AID become unreadable for the 2N devices. • By changing the PICC master key in a project with earlier encrypted cards you will lose the possibility to edit and delete these cards later in the project. The change does not affect the validity of the authentication cards in the 2N devices. • The selection of the Random ID function is irreversible.
2N® PICard Commander 4. Card Encryption and Reading Here is what you can find in this section: • 4.1 Card Encryption • 4.2 Reading Key Export • 4.3 Card Data Deletion 4.1 Card Encryption The card encryption process in 2N® PICard Commander assigns a unique 128-bit identifier to every card, which is subsequently encrypted using the project encryption keys. It is possible to read a card to find its identifier or additional information and learn whether it is possible to encrypt the card in the project.
2N® PICard Commander • Not enough free space on card – there is not enough space on the card for the 2N® PICard upload. The required minimum memory is 512 B. • Unsupported card – the application does not support this card type. The 2N® PICard technology is designed for the encryption of the MIFARE DESFire EV2 and EV3 cards. • Only Mifare DESFire EV2 or EV3 are supported – the application does not support this card type. The used card is MIFARE DESFire EV1.
2N® PICard Commander • Unknown – the card is encrypted in another project under a different main encryption key. The card may be also be corrupted. Card Status displays the card state or encryption options. • Valid PICard credential – the card is encrypted in this project. • The card can be encrypted (card is empty) – the card is not encrypted. The card has factory default settings. • The card can be encrypted – the card is not encrypted. A project compatible PICC master key is set on the card.
2N® PICard Commander Note • If you use connect an extending RFID card reader module via the VBUS cable to the 2N device where the reading keys have been uploaded, remember to pair this module with the device. Pair the extending reader module using Hardware - Extending modules via the web interface. Export keys to file The application generates a key file and saves in onto the disk. Import the file into the 2N device settings or 2N® Access Commanderu via the respective web interfaces.
2N® PICard Commander • Import to 2N device via web interface: Services → Access control → PICard → Upload Upload keys to 2N® Access Commander 2N® PICard Commander uploads the reading keys directly into 2N® Access Commander for subsequent distribution to the connected 2N devices. In the next step, enter the administrator login data to the 2N® Access Commanderu license. • Address – HTTP address of the 2N® Access Commander web interface.
2N® PICard Commander 4.3 Card Data Deletion The2N® PICard Commander application helps you format cards or delete their access data. The cards can only be deleted and formatted in the project in which they were encrypted. Card Formatting Open Project → Format card. Tap the card on the reader. Press Format card to format the card. Warning • By formatting a card you delete all the card data including the third party data.
