1. General description
NXP has developed the MIFARE MF1ICS70 to be used in a contactless smart card
according to ISO/IEC 14443 Type A.

The MIFARE MF1ICS70 IC is used in applications like public transport ticketing where
major cities have adopted MIFARE as their e-ticketing solution of choice.

1.1 Key applications

• Public transportation
• Access control
• Event ticketing
• Gaming & identity

1.2 Anticollision
An intelligent anticollision function allows to operate more than one card in the field
simultaneously. The anticollision algorithm selects each card individually and ensures that
the execution of a transaction with a selected card is performed correctly without data
corruption resulting from other cards in the field.

1.3 Simple integration and user convenience

The MF1ICS70 is designed for simple integration and user convenience. Which could
allow complete ticketing transactions to be handled in less than 100 ms. Thus, the
MF1ICS70 card user is not forced to stop at the reader leading to a high throughput at
gates and reduced boarding times onto busses. The MIFARE card may also remain in the
wallet during the transaction, even if there are coins in it.

1.4 Security
• Mutual three pass authentication (ISO/IEC DIS 9798-2)
• Individual set of two keys per sector (per application) to support multi-application with
key hierarchy
• Unique serial number for each device

1.5 Delivery options

• Die on wafer
• Bumped die on wafer
• MOA4 or MOA2 contactless card module

6. Functional description

6.1 Block description

The MF1ICS70 chip consists of the 4 Kbytes EEPROM, the RF-Interface and the Digital
Control Unit. Energy and data are transferred via an antenna, which consists of a coil with
a few turns directly connected to the MF1IC 70. No further external components are
necessary. (For details on antenna design please refer to the document MIFARE‚ Card IC
Coil Design Guide.)

• RF-Interface:
– Modulator/Demodulator
– Rectifier
– Clock Regenerator
– Power On Reset
– Voltage Regulator
• Anticollision: Several cards in the field may be selected and operated in sequence
• Authentication: Preceding any memory operation the authentication procedure
ensures that access to a block is only possible via the two keys specified for each
block
• Control & Arithmetic Logic Unit: Values are stored in a special redundant format and
can be incremented and decremented
• EEPROM-Interface
• Crypto unit: The CRYPTO1 stream cipher of the MF1ICS70 is used for authentication
and encryption of data exchange.
• EEPROM: 4 Kbytes are organised in 32 sectors with 4 blocks each and 8 sectors with
16 blocks each. One block contains 16 bytes. The last block of each sector is called
“sector trailer”, which contains two secret keys and programmable access conditions
for each sector.

6.2 Communication principle

The commands are initiated by the reader and controlled by the Digital Control Unit of the
MF1ICS70 according to the access conditions valid for the corresponding sector.

6.2.1 Request standard/all

After Power On Reset (POR) of a card it can answer to a request command - sent by the
reader to all cards in the antenna field - by sending the answer to request code (ATQA
according to ISO/IEC 14443A).

6.2.2 Anticollision loop

In the anticollision loop the serial number of a card is read. If there are several cards in the
operating range of the reader, they can be distinguished by their unique serial numbers
and one can be selected (select card) for further transactions. The unselected cards
return to the standby mode and wait for a new request command.

6.2.3 Select card

With the select card command the reader selects one individual card for authentication
and memory related operations. The card returns the Answer To Select (ATS) code
(=18h), which determines the type of the selected card. Please refer to the document
“MIFARE‚ Standardized Card Type Identification Procedure” for further details.

6.2.4 Three pass authentication

After selection of a card the reader specifies the memory location of the following memory
access and uses the corresponding key for the three pass authentication procedure. After
a successful authentication all memory operations are encrypted.

6.2.5 Memory operations

After authentication any of the following operations may be performed:

• Read block
• Write block
• Decrement: Decrements the content of a block and stores the result in a temporary
internal data-register
• Increment: Increments the content of a block and stores the result in the data-register
• Restore: Moves the content of a block into the data-register
• Transfer: Writes the content of the temporary internal data-register to a value block

6.3 Data integrity

Following mechanisms are implemented in the contactless communication link between
reader and card to ensure very reliable data transmission:

• 16 bits CRC per block

• Parity bits for each byte
• Bit count checking
• Bit coding to distinguish between "1", "0", and no information
• Channel monitoring (protocol sequence and bit stream analysis)

6.4 Three pass authentication sequence

1. The reader specifies the sector to be accessed and chooses key A or B.
2. The card reads the secret key and the access conditions from the sector trailer. Then
the card sends a random number as the challenge to the reader (pass one).
3. The reader calculates the response using the secret key and additional input. The
response, together with a random challenge from the reader, is then transmitted to the
card (pass two).
4. The card verifies the response of the reader by comparing it with its own challenge
and then it calculates the response to the challenge and transmits it (pass three).
5. The reader verifies the response of the card by comparing it to its own challenge

After transmission of the first random challenge the communication between card and
reader is encrypted.

Functional specification

6.5 RF interface
The RF-interface is according to the standard for contactless smart cards
ISO/IEC 14443 A.

The carrier field from the reader is always present (with short pauses when transmitting),
because it is used for the power supply of the card.

For both directions of data communication there is only one start bit at the beginning of
each frame. Each byte is transmitted with a parity bit (odd parity) at the end. The LSB of
the byte with the lowest address of the selected block is transmitted first. The maximum
frame length is 163 bits (16 data bytes + 2 CRC bytes = 16 * 9 + 2 * 9 + 1 start bit).

6.6 Memory organization

The 4 kByte EEPROM memory is organised in 32 sectors with 4 blocks and in 8 sectors
with 16 blocks. One block consists of 16 bytes. In the erased state the EEPROM cells are
read as a logical “0”, in the written state as a logical “1”.

6.6.2 Data blocks

Sectors 0 .. 31 contain 3 blocks and sectors 32 .. 39 contain 15 blocks for storing data.
(Sector 0 contains only two data blocks and the read-only manufacturer block).

The data blocks can be configured by the access bits as

• read/write blocks for e.g. contactless access control or

• value blocks for e.g. electronic purse applications, where additional commands like
increment and decrement for direct control of the stored value are provided.

An authentication command has to be carried out before any operation in order to allow
further commands.

6.6.2.1 Value Blocks

The value blocks allow to perform electronic purse functions (valid commands: read, write,
increment, decrement, restore, transfer).The value blocks have a fixed data format which
permits error detection and correction and a backup management. A value block can only
be generated through a write operation in the value block format:

A value block can only be generated through a write operation in the value block format:

• Value: Signifies a signed 4-byte value. The lowest significant byte of a value is stored
in the lowest address byte. Negative values are stored in standard 2´s complement
format. For reasons of data integrity and security, a value is stored three times, twice
non-inverted and once inverted.

• Adr: Signifies a 1-byte address, which can be used to save the storage address of a
block, when implementing a powerful backup management. The address byte is
stored four times, twice inverted and non-inverted. During increment, decrement,
restore and transfer operations the address remains unchanged. It can only be
altered via a write command.

6.6.3 Sector trailer

Each sector has a sector trailer. Due to the memory configuration of the MF1ICS70 this
sector trailer is located in block 3 of each sector in the first two kByte of the NV-memory
respectively in block 15 of each sector in the upper 2 kByte of the 4 kByte NV-memory.

Each sector trailer holds the

• secret keys A and B (optional), which return logical “0”s when read and
• the access conditions for the four blocks of that sector, which are stored in bytes 6...9.
The access bits also specify the type (read/write or value) of the data blocks.

If key B is not needed, the last 6 bytes of the sector trailer can be used as data bytes.Byte
9 of the sector trailer is available for user data. For this byte apply the same access rights
as for byte 6, 7 and 8.

6.7.1 Access conditions

The access conditions for every data block and sector trailer are defined by 3 bits, which
are stored non-inverted and inverted in the sector trailer of the specified sector.

The access bits control the rights of memory access using the secret keys A and B. The
access conditions may be altered, provided one knows the relevant key and the current
access condition allows this operation.

Remark: With each memory access the internal logic verifies the format of the access
conditions. If it detects a format violation the whole sector is irreversible blocked.

Remark: In the following description the access bits are mentioned in the non-inverted
mode only.

The internal logic of the MF1ICS70 ensures that the commands are executed only after an
authentication procedure or never.

Table 2. Access conditions

Access Bits Valid Commands Block Description
C13 C23 C33 read, write → 3 sector trailer
C12 C22 C32 read, write, increment, decrement, → 2 data area[1]

C11 C21 C31 read, write, increment, decrement, → 1 data area[1]
transfer, restore
C10 C20 C30 read, write, increment, decrement, → 0 data area[1]
transfer, restore

[1] For the first 32 sectors (first 2 Kbytes of NV-memory) the access conditions can be set individually for a
data area sized one block.
For the last 8 sectors (upper 2 Kbytes of NV-memory) access conditions can be set individually for a data
area sized 5 blocks.

6.7.2 Access conditions for the sector trailer

Depending on the access bits for the sector trailer (block 3) the read/write access to the
keys and the access bits is specified as ‘never’, ‘key A’, ‘key B’ or key A|B’ (key A or
key B).

On chip delivery the access conditions for the sector trailers and key A are predefined as
transport configuration. Since key B may be read in transport configuration, new cards
must be authenticated with key A. Since the access bits themselves can also be blocked,
special care should be taken during personalization of cards.

6.7.3 Access conditions for data blocks

Depending on the access bits for data blocks (blocks 0...2) the read/write access is
specified as ‘never’, ‘key A’, ‘key B’ or ‘key A|B’ (key A or key B). The setting of the
relevant access bits defines the application and the corresponding applicable commands.

• Read/write block: The operations read and write are allowed.

• Value block: Allows the additional value operations increment, decrement, transfer
and restore. In one case (‘001’) only read and decrement are possible for a
non-rechargeable card. In the other case (‘110’) recharging is possible by using key B.
• Manufacturer block: The read-only condition is not affected by the access bits setting!
• Key management: In transport configuration key A must be used for authentication.1

[1] if Key B may be read in the corresponding Sector Trailer it cannot serve for authentication (all grey marked
lines in previous table). Consequences: If the RWD tries to authenticate any block of a sector with key B
using grey marked access conditions, the card will refuse any subsequent memory access after
authentication.
