Note: For Mifare 1K Card, there are 16 sectors and each sector consists of 4 consecutive
blocks. E.g. Sector 0x00 consists of Blocks {0x00, 0x01, 0x02 and 0x03}; Sector 0x01 consists
of Blocks {0x04, 0x05, 0x06 and 0x07}; the last sector 0x0F consists of Blocks {0x3C, 0x3D,
0x3E and 0x3F}.
Once the authentication is executed successfully, there is no need to execute the authentication again
provided that the blocks to be accessed are belonging to the same sector. Please refer to the Mifare
1K/4K specification for more details.
