It’s Elektor's first Super Summer Deal and we’ve decided to start with a whopping 23% discount on our most recent book. You keep $16.20 in your pocket!

 

Our latest publication, RFID – MIFARE and Contactless Cards in Application, offers a comprehensive and functional introduction into the world of MIFARE, a commonly used RFID technology that is present in many everyday applications. Authors Renke Bienert and Gerhard Schalk systematically cover MIFARE’s various aspects, such as physical fundamentals, relevant standards, RFID antenna design, security considerations, and cryptography.

 

The book describes a complete hardware and software design, firmware, and associated PC software support programming using any .NET language.

 

Smart Card Magic.NET, a specially developed PC program, is a simple development environment that sends commands to a card at the click of a mouse.  It can also create C# scripts. Alternatively, one may use Visual Studio 2010 Express Edition to follow all of the examples.

 

Finally, the book introduces major smart card reader API standards. The focus is on programming contactless smart cards with standard PC/SC readers using C/C++, Java and C#.
