Hi Lagur,

Please take in mind, the MIFARE DESFire EV1 or EV2 are security products. For me it seems that the “16 bytes app key” is an AES128 key, used for protection or encryption of the data. You have two options to deal with the DESFire:

  1. You use the TapLinx SDK for Android. The SDK is free and allows it to communicate with the DESFire.

  2. You implement your software on a PC or a microcontroller with a “third party NFC reader”. Here you have to send the ISO or native commands to the DESFire directly. If you want to use native commands, you need to sign a NDA. Please contact us via taplinx@nxp.com for the NDA request.


Kind regards,
The TapLinx Team
