Selection of user’s contactless card type (MIFARE™ or DESFire™)
Contactless Card type
As MorphoAccess® terminals are equipped with a contactless smartcard reader
compatible with MIFARE™ and DESFire™ cards (see section Scope of the
document), it is possible to specify the type of card to be supported by the terminal:
• Only MIFARE™ cards: for example when the terminal replaces a
MorphoAccess® 120 terminal.
• MIFARE™ and DESFire™ cards: for example during a transition phase between
MIFARE™ cards only to DESFire™ cards only
• DESFire™ cards only
Configuration key
The type of contactless smartcard enabled is defined by the following specific
configuration key:
Type of contactless smartcard enabled
app/contactless/enabled profiles = 0 MIFARE™ cards only (support binary format
for user’s identifier)
app/contactless/enabled profiles = 1 DESFire™ cards only (TLV format only)
app/contactless/enabled profiles = 2 MIFARE™ cards only (TLV format only)
app/contactless/enabled profiles = 3 MIFARE™ and DESFire™ cards (TLV
format only)
Compatibility with Authentication modes
Using a binary value read on the card as user’s identifier is allowed only with
MIFARE™ smart card, and when the “app/contactless/enabled profiles” configuration
key is set to 0 (zero).
All other values of this configuration keys requires TLV formatted data, as described
in the MorphoAccess® Contactless Card Specification document.
