Is it possible to read Desfire EV1 cards, using readily available RFID modules?
I currently have RC522 module, that works for classic cards, but doesn't read Desfire.
Do I need PN532 module? Does even that work?
No avail with PN532 either.
Bumpping for any information.
Really nobody's tried deploy DesFire?
Just this week I finished the mega project: My libraray is the FIRST Desfire library that has ever been written for the Arduino family. It uses the PN532 board from Adafruit.
The PN532 has the advantage over other boards that it has a bigger antenna which allows larger read distances than the majority of boards which have smaller antennas.
The code has only been tested compiling for Teensy 3.2, but it should also work on other Arduino boards.
My code contains all you need to communicate with a Desfire EV1 card. I implemented 2K3DES, 3K3DES and AES encryption.
