CT - ISO Card (MIFARE DESFire EV3 8k)

High-security encrypted. Multi-app capable. Universally deployable.

The CT - ISO Card with MIFARE DESFire EV3 8K chip is the premium HF card for applications with the highest demands on security and storage capacity. Anyone looking to buy MIFARE DESFire EV3 8K cards for advanced access control, multi-use ticketing, employee IDs with several applications or cashless payment systems will find this CRAFT Technologies (CT) model the right fit – an ISO 7810 compliant PVC card in standard credit card format, available from the IDCRAFT online shop as a plain blank or fully personalised on request, including pre-encoded AES data.

The card operates at 13.56 MHz to ISO/IEC 14443 A and carries Common Criteria EAL5+ certification. The NXP MIFARE DESFire EV3 chip in its 8K configuration provides 8,192 bytes of EEPROM user memory and supports modern cryptographic methods including AES, 3DES and 3K3DES. With the ability to store up to 28 independent applications on a single card, the product is ideally suited for multi-application scenarios – combining access control, time and attendance, canteen payment, printer authentication and cashless payment on a single employee badge.

In its standard configuration the card ships as a blank, laminated PVC card sized 85.6 × 54 × 0.76 mm at a weight of 5 ± 1 g. But the card is far more than a blank substrate: printing (offset, digital, screen), laser engraving, sequential numbering, AES encoding of DESFire applications, barcode, QR code, signature panel, magnetic stripe or hybrid contact chip combinations can all be added to your order on request – cards arrive ready to deploy.

The following part number is available in the IDCRAFT online shop - configuration can be customised on request:

• IC-PVC-DES-EV3-8K - CT - ISO Card made of laminated standard PVC in ISO 7810 format (85.6 × 54 × 0.76 mm, 5 g), equipped with NXP MIFARE DESFire EV3 chip in the 8K variant, 8,192 bytes EEPROM, AES / 3DES / 3K3DES encryption, 7-byte UID, 13.56 MHz, ISO 14443 A, Common Criteria EAL5+. Supplied either as a plain white blank or, on request, fully personalised with CMYK/Pantone printing, laser engraving, AES application encoding and additional security features.

On request the card is also available in alternative substrates such as heat-resistant PC (up to 100 °C) or environmentally friendly PET-G. With protection up to IP65 it is also suitable for access and office environments as well as lightly exposed outdoor applications. Pricing and volume tiers from 100 / 500 / 1,000 pcs are available directly from IDCRAFT – your specialist distributor for HF | NFC – RFID hardware.

The CT - ISO Card with MIFARE DESFire EV3 8K is the right choice whenever security, storage capacity and future-proofing are required in equal measure. The DESFire EV3 chip is the current benchmark for demanding access control, ticketing and identification systems – with AES encryption, full backwards compatibility with DESFire EV1 and EV2, and improved performance over its predecessors.

Printing, encoding, laser engraving and hybrid solutions are available on request as part of a single order: from simple 4/4 colour front and back printing through sequential numbering and personal data to full AES encoding of your DESFire applications including key management. Mixed configurations with magnetic stripe, contact chip or signature panel are equally feasible. On request we handle print data review, proof approval and verification of your encoding data prior to production.
