Please refere to the NDEF documention and standards for assistance on the actual NDEF record setup and structure. It is assumed you are fimular with using a desfire cards and commands. The follow notes are based on: NXP - AN11004 - MIFARE DESFire as Type 4 Tag Rev. 2.4 - 22 May 2013 In order to setup NDEF on a Mifare Desfire card you need to create an Application and two files inside that application. The application and files have some special needs in order for the standands to work and the NDEF recrod to be found. ### Step 1 Create Application While I beleive the App ID and File IDs dont matter (for EV1 and later) I did find a reference to using the values in this example. The Application MUST have the DFName of D2760000850101 Note: That is the hex/binary data that needs to be stored! DF Name : D2760000850101 <- **Important MUST be D2760000850101** AID : 000001 <- In EV1 and later can be any AID FID : E110 <- In EV1 and later can be any App - FID Keys : 1 <- Any number of keys (based on your needs) Encryption : AES <- Any encryption. ISO 2 Byte FID : Yes <- **Important MUST support 2 Byte ISO File IDs** ***Proxmark Command*** ``` hf mfdes createapp --aid 000001 --fid E110 --ks1 0B --ks2 A1 --dfhex D2760000850101 -t des -n 0 -k 0000000000000000``` Result ``` [+] Desfire application 000001 successfully created``` ### Step 2 Create the Compatibility Container file (CC File) The CC File is a standard file to store the needed NDEF information to find your NDEF records. This example will contrain the setup for a single NDEF record. Note: You can define more then one NDEF data file if needed (not covered in this example) Type : Standard data file FID : 01 <- File ID can be any uniqure File ID for this AID ISO FID : E103 <- **Important MUST be the 2 byte ISO File of E103** Size : 0F (15 bytes) <- May need to be longer in more advanced setups. Comms : Plain <- **Important the file MUST support plain communication mode** Permissions : E000 <- **Read Free** write change etc key 0) Note: To allow public update, set Write to E as well. All keys should be set as per normal desfire rules.

Its not how long the actual NDEF record is. ***Proxmark Commands*** Create the CC file hf mfdes createfile --aid 000001 --fid 01 --isofid E103 --amode plain --size 00000F --rrights free --wrights key0 --rwrights key0 --chrights key0 -n 0 -t aes -k 00000000000000000000000000000000 -m plain Result: [=] ---- Create file settings ---- [+] File type : Standard data [+] File number : 0x01 (1) [+] File ISO number : 0xe103 [+] File comm mode : Plain [+] Additional access: No [+] Access rights : e000 [+] read : free [+] write : key 0x00 [+] readwrite: key 0x00 [+] change : key 0x00 [=] File size : 15 (0xF) bytes [+] Standard data file 01 in the app 000001 created successfully Write the CC record to the file hf mfdes write --aid 000001 --fid 01 -d 000F20003B00340406E10400FF00FF -n 0 -t aes -k 00000000000000000000000000000000 -m plain Result [=] Write data file 01 success Check the contents of the CC file (note: no-auth was selected to ensure we can read without authentication, as needed for normal ndef discovery) hf mfdes read --no-auth --aid 000001 --fid 01 Result [=] ------------------------------- File 01 data ------------------------------- [+] Read 15 bytes from file 0x01 offset 0 [=] Offset | Data | Ascii [=] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- [=] 0/0x00 | 00 0F 20 00 3B 00 34 04 06 E1 04 00 FF 00 FF | .. .;.4........ ### Step 3 Create the NDEF Record File Type : Standard data file FID : 02 <- File ID can be any uniqure File ID for this AID ISO FID : E104 <- **Important MUST be the 2 byte ISO File set in the CC File** Size : 00FF (255 bytes) <- Can be as big as needed, but should not be smaller then the value in the CC File Comms : Plain <- **Important the file MUST support plain communication mode** Permissions : E000 <- **Read Free** write change etc key 0) Note: To allow public update set Write to E as well.
