Hide Smart card content


I have one stupid question. I have mifare classic tags (1k). I want to hide content of this card (any data stored there). How to do it? What about ndef records?


Solution

  • MFC (MiFare Classic) got reverse engineered completely, so storage should be considered read-write, and clear text, copiable/clonable, etc.

    If you can afford encryption of the payload before putting it on the card, you may be able to make data confidential, but not "hide" it: third parties will be able to tell card is not blank, but will not be able to tell what is actually stored.

    NDEF wont help you there.
