• Operational mode

The access to the memory depends on the actual mode of SLE 55R01; the memory is

accessed according to plain or protected mode when the PICC is selected.

• Crypto Unit

Generates random numbers, checks and calculates message authentication code (MAC).

• Memory Unit

160 bytes organised in 16 pages with 8 + 2 bytes each.

• Control Unit

—

Decoding and execution of the commands

—

Bit oriented anticollision method with 4 or 7 byte long serial numbers (complying to

ISO/IEC 14443-3

− cascade level 1 and 2 are supported). It allows the recognition of

several cards in the field which may be selected and operated in sequence.

—

Access to key-protected sectors is only permitted after authentication with an appropriate

key. Only one sector is opened within a session. One sector is optionally configurable

without key protection and authentication.

—

Memory access to the pages according to the individual access conditions programmed

for every page and every key
