Mifare Classic Cards and the MiFare brand are very well known in the contactless technology industry. It is a company that specializes in touch-less applications, including proximity cards and access control systems. The company is credited with creating the first universal access control card.
Mifare Classic cards are also popularly known as Mifare Contactless smartcards and are a lot like their predecessors. Mifare cards are plastic credit cards shaped like credit cards and contain magnetic stripes on their surface. These magnetic stripes have numbers that are read by the access control panel. These cards are used to make purchases. However, Mifare Classic cards do more than just storing and transmitting cardholder data.
Mifare cards and Mifare Classic Tags can be used for event ticketing and for accessing your reservation records. There are two types of magnetic stripe, the hot-swappable magnetic stripe, and the static, cold swappable stripe. Hot-swappable Magnetic Stripe (HSP) cards have their data saved on a flash drive and are compatible with almost any handheld Mifare card reader. This means that you can access your data from any location as long as you have an HSP card reader.
Event ticketing is a service that most people are familiar with. It allows customers to purchase tickets for sporting events, theater shows, concerts, and other events. When using a Mifare card for events ticketing, the customer inserts a card into a reader and then scans the reader to validate the card information. The data is stored on a magnetic stripe, and the system transmits this data to the system at the event ticketing office. The system then creates and prints an ID card.
The most important feature of Mifare Classic Cards is its security features. These cards use advanced chip technology to maintain tamper resistance. The primary target application of these cards is to deter fraud and other illegal activity. The security features are part of the way that the company keeps the cardholder safe. There are several other applications as well.
