How do i implement MIFARE CLASSIC into my project with the ST25R3916?

Hi

For a school project we are working with the ST25R3916 to read/write MIFARE CLASSIC cards, but I'm stuck on the reading part. I found this in de datasheet: "Low level modes to implement

MIFARE Classic® compliant or other custom protocols", What mode should I use? I've read something about Transparent mode and stream mode, do I use one of these 2?

Thanks in advance

Kind regards

    Hi

    Such tags require proprietary authentication before any memory operation (see datasheet from the manufacturer of these tags). If you want to use such tags with the ST25R3916 or ST25R3911B readers, you will have to implement this proprietary authentication and the ciphering. See other posts on this topic in this forum https://community.st.com/s/question/0D50X0000BQNakcSQD/nfc0541-read-mifare-classic-1k. Maybe @Olivier Bontron​  can help you.

    But I would rather recommend to use fully compliant tags from the ST25 family such as ST25TA (Type 4A Tags) or fully compliant Type 2 Tags (i.e. tags not requiring proprietary stuff).
