NXP Mifare Card Sample Code for .NET
No need to start reading through NXP Mifare card specifications. Nor do you need to study PC/SC unmanaged Windows API documentation.
SmartCard API includes a Mifare card module for .NET. It is written in C# on top of our Smart card API framework with Mifare card edge knowledge built-in just where you need it.
Mifare Classic 1K and 4K card module
- read or write NXP Mifare Classic card data
- get a unique identifier (UID, CSN)
- Mifare card authentication under Mifare card key
- Mifare Card value data support
- PC/SC reader support
Card readers are not all created equal and therefore might require additional tweaks to handle Mifare cards flawlessly. Therefore we test our software with many PC/SC card reader implementations.
SmartCardAPI saves you days of valuable software engineering time.
To make things even easier, we added sample code for Mifare Classic cards to our SDK. With that sample code you can load keys to your reader, authenticate under those keys and access Mifare data blocks. With the access conditions satisfied you can reading and writing any card data.
We have prepared sample code to demonstrate this. and wrapped it in HelloWorld-style sample code “MifareCardDemo” that is part of our standard SDK.
Note, that we also have dedicated sample code for Mifare Ultralight and Mifare DESFire EV1 cards in “NfcTagDemo” and “DESFireCardDemo” respectively.
We are sure you’ll love SmartCardAPI(professional).
