CR95HF
INDEX
Introducrtion
The CR95HF is an integrated transceiver IC for contactless applications.
The CR95HF manages the frame coding and decoding in Reader mode for standard applications such as:
The CR95HF embeds the Analog Front End for 13.56 MHz Air Interface.
The CR95HF supports ISO/IEC 14443 A and B, ISO/IEC 15693 (single or double subcarrier) and ISO/IEC 18092 protocols.
In order to meet environmental requirements, ST offers these devices in different grades of ECOPACK®packages, depending on their level of environmental compliance. ECOPACK®specifications, grade definitions and product status are available at: www.st.com. ECOPACK®is an ST trademark.

CR95HF and MIFARE
Some RFID devices, eg MIFARE Classic, have a special encryption algorithm owner of NXP (called Crypto 1) that is not public and requires a license from NXP.
To my knowledge, there aren't free implementations of the algorithm Crypto1.
STM has a device that contains a microcontroller secure encryption (STMSE) for Cypto1, and are available for larger volumes of 100 Kp.
Other devices, eg NXP Ultralight, do not have encryption, and therefore are readable with CR95HF, while others, NXP DESFire, use encryption standard (3DES or AES) then could be managed with CR95HF.
So, if you want to use Mifare Classic, the CR95HF is not suitable unless add the microcontroller secure encryption (STMSE) intended for the purpose.
