However, things move slowly in the card world. When NXP announced MIFARE DESFire EV2 in 2013, institutions and enterprises that were planning to upgrade to contactless smart cards began to look for this latest model. Technology changes so rapidly that it usually makes sense to purchase the most recent version of any technology product. MIFARE Plus EV2 was introduced recently, incorporating a similar security level to DESFire EV1. The MIFARE DESFire EV1 chip has been NXP’s first widely distributed, really secure chip, incorporating AES data encryption on the card and during communication with a reader. In response, NXP introduced the much more secure MIFARE Plus, but it didn’t really catch on in North America. As a more secure successor, the MIFARE DESFire chip was introduced in 2003, but it too was soon considered vulnerable to attack. MIFARE Classic has been very useful and inexpensive, but it was notoriously hacked in 2007. MIFARE Classic was introduced in the mid-1990s and continues to sell in very large quantities, but it was not designed with robust security features which could withstand the increase in computing power that the last 20 years have seen.
