For a growing number of smart card applications, where service providers need to ensure high data and transaction security, NXP´s MIFARE SAMs (Secure Access Modules) are a good solution. It turns even the simplest reader into a high security transaction device. With its on board cryptographic co-processors with 3DES, AES and PKI capabilities, our hardware solutions offers cryptographic features for a variety of secure infrastructures, including access management and automatic fare collection.

The MIFARE SAM AV3 is the latest addition to the MIFARE SAM portfolio. Discover more below.
