Can I use my own MIFARE® DESFire encryption and card summation for RFID media?

This is possible in principle. In KentixONE, you can choose between Kentix-specific encryption and your own (custom) encryption (MIFARE® DESFire application).

Why does Kentix identification media use a standard key and UID rather than a sequentially printed number?
The Kentix RFID tokens (key fob, card, etc.) are all delivered with a Kentix specific MIFARE® DESFire key and without imprinting a sequential number. This greatly simplifies handling for customers with smaller and medium-sized systems.

KentixONE – Configuration – Security

The customization of the application is done via a configuration file in the following format:

mifare_desfire
app_id“0xa1b2c3d4”
file_number1
file_offset0
file_length128
file_type0
auth_method0
des_key„0xa4b2c7d4e5f6a1ba1b2c3d41234“
key_number0
