4) Project: Mifare RFID Reader

Client: VEREX Technologies, Canada
Period: Dec 2005 – Jul 2006
Description: The reader is a secured Mifare RFID reader which supports
Mifare classic and Desfire smart cards and and all the ISO 14443
complaint cards. It consists of a Mifare Card Reader IC MFRC 531 from
Philips, which interfaces with the antenna at one side and with the
Philips LPC2131 microcontroller on the other side. The reader will
recognize ISO 14443 compliant MiFare & Desfire smart cards and
inform the door controller (host) through Weigand interface to grant /
deny the door access. If there is a PIN pad, the user should enter the
PIN (Personal Identification Number) also. Upon successful validation
of the PIN and the smart card the door controller would provide the
access.
Position: Software Engineer.
