Its configurable application identifier (AID) and file identifiers (FID) allow alignment with NFC Type 4 Tag data models, enabling smartphone-based services like business card sharing or peer-to-peer pairing - provided the host application implements the corresponding NDEF mapping and TLV structures on top of the underlying DESFire Light file system.
Can the MF2DLH1001DUF/02Z be used alongside MIFARE DESFire EV2 in the same system?
Yes, the MF2DLH1001DUF/02Z offers functional compatibility with MIFARE DESFire EV2, including shared command syntax, file system structure, and secure messaging protocols. This allows applications developed for MF2DLH1001DUF/02Z to operate within a broader multi-application EV2 environment - for example, a transit card running MF2DLH1001DUF/02Z-based fare logic can coexist with EV2-based loyalty or banking apps on the same physical card - with minimal integration overhead and no changes to terminal firmware.
What security certifications apply to the MF2DLH1001DUF/02Z?
The MF2DLH1001DUF/02Z holds Common Criteria EAL4 certification for both hardware and software components, validating its resistance to logical and physical attacks.
