DESFire

Desfire card library for Python

Project still ongoing, use it with caution!

Features

  • Compatible with all readers supported by pySCARD

  • Pure python implementation

  • One of the few DESFire libraries that supports ALL (DES,2DES,3DES,AES) authentication types

  • Enumeration of the card gives an overlook on how the card is structured

  • Functions implement:

    • authenticate
    • getApplicationIDs
    • getKeySetting
    • getCardVersion
    • formatCard
    • selectApplication
    • createApplication
    • deleteApplication
    • getFileIDs
    • getFileSettings
    • readFileData
    • writeFileData
    • deleteFile
    • createStdDataFile
    • getKeyVersion
    • changeKeySettings
    • changeKey

Issues

  • Can’t read data from certain file types

  • Some commands are missing (since there is no full documentation available)
