1 University Multi-application Scheme using Desfire Contactless Cards Smartran Ltd Kevin Farquharson, Director Smartran Ltd www.smartran.co.uk +44 1483 772241 1Sept 2011

2 Student/ Staff ID, Access & Safety So you need a multi-application scheme.... 2 2 Library Univ. Shop Attendance Monitoring Jane Smith www.university.ac.uk 6528 9652 7819 7781 Canteen & SU Bars Link? General Payment or e-purse Print & Copy Left Luggage/ Lockers On line access e-Purse Acad Depts Integrated with registration, HR, network logon, student account and payment Sept 2011

3 Decisions, decisions.... Selecting Card Type Desfire v Mifare from application perspective Migrating existing applications Adding new applications Delivering a multi-application scheme Mitigating risks of delay & under-delivery 3Sept 2011

4 Card Type Options 1.Plastic ID card 2.Barcode 3.Magnetic Stripe 4.Contactless Memory Smart Card or Microprocessor Smart Card or dual i/face Or combination of the above 4Sept 2011

5 Why use a memory card? Low unit cost Supports majority of Uni applications Compatible with many applications Fast contactless interaction Reduced physical wear and tear of card Falling cost of contactless readers Standardised encoding (eg LASSeO) Note: NXP Mifare range is most popular choice for access and transport 5Sept 2011

7 DESfire v Mifare Advantages Enhanced sercurity features and options (AES, 3DES) More flexible memory allocation 7Byte UID ensures card IDs are unique More flexibility of read/write control and anti-tear ISO / IEC 14443A compliant Card of choice for UK transport and resident card schemes Future proof for new uses Transport compatible Disadvantages Price premium Less supplier experience Backward compatibility issues Less choice of readers Change or migrate all applications Need to make multiple changes in a short period of time 7Sept 2011

9 Don’t forget RFID Tagging.... Library Books, Reference Docs & Loaned Items Loaned Equipment Wall/ room Tags University Resource/ Equipment Database Library Management System and RFID System Libraries W/stn 1Library loan items 2Loaned equipment 3Valuable assets 4Other physical assets Plant Valuable Assets RFID Reader Sept 2011

10 Implementation Challenges Multiple stakeholders Back office integration Quality of data sources & databases (common key) OJEU Procurement - timescales & risks Co-ordination of application and card rollout Interim card applications and use Migrating applications to new scheme Testing and acceptance Communication to staff and students 10Sept 2011

11 Switching to Desfire Identify existing applications - how do they read card? data returned? card updates? – Barcode, mag stripe and existing chip Investigate applications which only use UID – Card reader, middleware, database & i/faces support change to 7 Byte UID – Can you mix old and new cards during transition? Investigate applications which use encoded data – Can application be migrated to Desfire? – Card reader, configuration, application – Can you mix old and new cards during transition? 11Sept 2011

12 Application Reading UID Can be the most problematic due to age, lack of support and hidden traps Options – phased transition or Big Bang Card readers can read UID on both types of card which is useful for changeover Test readers, middleware and management systems with new and existing cards Salto and Controlsoft are examples of systems which can handle both card types. Siemens Cotag v5 does not! Sept 201112 Access Control System Controller Card Access control tables

13 Application which Read Card Data How is existing card encoded and read? Is application being upgraded or replaced? Can change be phased in or Big Bang? Investigate dual support of old and new cards. Emulate old application before introducing a new application on new card. Test readers, middleware and management systems with new and existing cards ITSO and some payment applications support both types to allow for migration 13Sept 2011
