Description  
The Atmel® CryptoRF® family integrates a 13.56MHz RF interface with Atmel CryptoMemory® security features. This  
product line is ideal for RF tags and contactless smart cards that can benefit from advanced security and cryptographic  
features. The device is optimized as a contactless secure memory for secure data storage without the requirement of an  
internal microprocessor.  
For communications, the RF interface utilizes the ISO/IEC 14443-2 and -3 Type B bit timing and signal modulation  
schemes, and the ISO/IEC 14443-3 Slot-MARKER Anticollision Protocol. Data is exchanged half duplex at a 106-kbit per  
second rate, with a two byte CRC_B providing error detection capability. The RF interface powers the other circuits, no  
battery is required. Full compliance with the ISO/IEC 14443 -2 and 14443 -3 standards provides both a proven RF  
communication interface and a robust anticollision protocol.  
The five products in the CryptoRF family contain 4 to 64 kilobits of user memory plus two kilobits of configuration  
memory. The two kilobits of configuration memory contains:  
Read/Write password sets  
Four crypto key sets  
Security access registers for each user zone  
Password/Key registers for each zone  
The CryptoRF command set is optimized for a multi-card RF communications environment. A programmable AFI register  
allows this IC to be used in numerous applications in the same geographic area with seamless discrimination of cards  
assigned to a particular application during the anticollision process.

6.1.1 Operation  
The “Request B” (REQB) and “Wake-Up B” (WUPB) commands are used to probe the RF field for Type B PICCs as the  
first step in the anticollision process. The response to an REQB or WUPB command is the “Answer to Request B”  
(ATQB). PICCs in the Active State are not permitted to answer this command.

6.2.1 Operation  
Slot MARKER is an optional command used to perform ISO/IEC 14443-3 Type B anticollision using the timeslot  
approach. Immediately after an REQB or WUPB command with “N” greater than one is issued, and the ATQB response  
(if any) is received, the PCD will transmit Slot MARKER commands with slot values “S” of two to “N” to define the start of  
each timeslot for anticollision. If the random number “R” selected by the PICC matches “S” then the PICC responds with  
ATQB. PICCs in the Active State are not permitted to answer this command.

6.3.1 Operation  
Sending the ATTRIB command (with a matching PUPI) after an ATQB response places the PICC in the Active State and  
assigns the Card ID Number (CID) to the PICC. PICCs already in the Active State or Halt State are not permitted to  
answer this command.

6.3.2 Command Field Descriptions  
PUPI:  
PseudoUnique PICC Identifier. This is the card ID used for anticollision, stored in the System Zone.  
Param:  
ISO/IEC 14443 communication capabilities reported to the PICC. The contents of Param bytes one, two,  
and three do not alter the behavior of CryptoRF PICCs.  
TBmax:  
CID:  
A parameter sent by the PCD reporting the receive buffer size of the PCD. Default value is $0.  
The Card ID Number (CID) in ATTRIB Param byte four and in the ATTRIB Response is encoded as shown  
in Table 6-6 and Table 6-7. Each PICC is assigned a unique CID when it is placed in the Active State.  
CryptoRF Active State commands use the assigned CID to direct the commands to the desired PICC.

Response Format  
The response to each Active State command consists of five bytes or more. The first byte of the response is the  
command byte echoed back to the PCD. The second byte is the ACK/NACK byte which reports success or failure of the  
command execution. The final two bytes of the response are always the CRC bytes. The CRC bytes are preceded by a  
STATUS byte which reports error codes or PICC status codes. Any data bytes returned by the command are located  
between the ACK/NACK and STATUS bytes.

The ACK/NACK byte reports success or failure of the command execution. In the event of a Check Password command  
failure or Verify Crypto command failure the ACK/NACK byte contains an attempts count coded as shown in Table 7-3  
and Table 7-4.  
The STATUS byte provides information to the host application indicating the state of the PICC or the reason for failure of  
a requested operation. The STATUS byte does not report the success or failure of a command. In the event of multiple  
errors, the STATUS byte reports the first error detected.  
The PICC ignores commands that do not have a matching CID. Invalid command codes are also ignored.

7.2.1 Operation  
Before reading and writing data to the user memory, the host must select a User Zone with this command. Only one User  
Zone may be selected at a time. At the time the zone is selected the host also chooses whether anti-tearing is active for  
the selected zone. If anti-tearing is activated, then all writes to the User Zone will utilize anti-tearing until a new Set User  
Zone command is received. Only PICCs in the Active State are permitted to answer this command.

7.3.1 Operation  
The Read User Zone command reads data from the device's currently selected User Zone.  
The data byte address is internally incremented as each byte is read from memory. Reading beyond the end of the  
current User Zone is prohibited. Only PICCs in the Active State are permitted to answer this command.  
If Encryption Communication Security is active the DATA bytes are encrypted; no other bytes are encrypted. In the  
Normal and Authentication Communication Security modes none of the bytes are encrypted.  
7.3.2 Command Field Descriptions

7.5.1 Operation  
The Read User Zone command with Integrated MAC reads data from the 88RF device's currently selected User Zone  
and also returns the cryptographic checksum. If the RCS bit of the DCR register is set to 1b, then the cryptographic  
engine is reset after the checksum is read. If the RCS bit of the DCR register is set to 0b, then the cryptographic engine  
is not reset by this command.  
The data byte address is internally incremented as each byte is read from memory. Reading beyond the end of the  
current User Zone is prohibited. Only PICCs in the Active State are permitted to answer this command. If the  
Authentication or Encryption Communication Security mode is not active, then a NACK response is returned.  
If the Encryption Communication Security mode is active, then the DATA bytes are encrypted. In Authentication  
Communication Security mode the DATA bytes are not encrypted.  
7.5.2 Command Field Descriptions  
CID:

7.6.1 Operation  
The Write User Zone command writes data in the device's currently selected User Zone. As each byte is clocked in to the  
memory the lower bits of the address are internally incremented. The upper address bits are not incremented, so the  
page address remains constant.  
Write operations cannot cross page boundaries; a Write User Zone command can only write data bytes within a single  
physical memory page. Attempts to write beyond the end of the page boundary will wrap to the beginning of the same  
page. Only PICCs in the Active State are permitted to answer this command.  
If Encryption Communication Security is active the DATA bytes are encrypted; no other bytes are encrypted. In the  
Normal and Authentication Communication Security modes none of the bytes are encrypted.  
The Write User Zone command includes an automatic data verification function when used on 88RF PICCs. After the  
EEPROM write is complete the data verification logic reads the new EEPROM contents and compares it to the data  
received in the Write User Zone command. If the data does not match then the PICC returns a NACK response with $ED  
in the status byte. If the data matches, the PICC returns an ACK response.

7.7.1 Operation  
The Write User Zone (Large Memory) command operates identically to the normal Write User Zone command, but  
utilizes a two byte address to support large memory sizes. The Write User Zone command writes data in the device's  
currently selected User Zone. As each byte is clocked in to the memory the lower bits of the address are internally  
incremented. The upper address bits are not incremented, so the page address remains constant.  
Write operations cannot cross page boundaries; a Write User Zone command can only write data bytes within a single  
physical memory page. Attempts to write beyond the end of the page boundary will wrap to the beginning of the same  
page. Only PICCs in the Active State are permitted to answer this command.  
If Encryption Communication Security is active the DATA bytes are encrypted; no other bytes are encrypted. In the  
Normal and Authentication Communication Security modes none of the bytes are encrypted.

7.8.1 Operation  
The Write User Zone command with Integrated MAC writes data in the 88RF device's currently selected User Zone. As  
each byte is clocked in to the memory the lower bits of the address are internally incremented. The upper address bits  
are not incremented, so the page address remains constant.  
Write operations cannot cross page boundaries; a Write User Zone command can only write data bytes within a single  
physical memory page. Attempts to write beyond the end of the page boundary will wrap to the beginning of the same  
page. Only PICCs in the Active State are permitted to answer this command. If the Authentication or Encryption  
Communication Security mode is not active, then a NACK response is returned. If the checksum does not match, then a  
NACK response is returned, the write operation is aborted, and the cryptographic engine is reset.  
The Write User Zone command with Integrated MAC includes an automatic data verification function. After the EEPROM  
write is complete the data verification logic reads the new EEPROM contents and compares it to the data received in the  
Write User Zone command. If the data does not match the PICC returns a NACK response with $ED in the status byte. If  
the data matches, the PICC returns an ACK response.  
If the Encryption Communication Security mode is active, then the DATA bytes are encrypted. In Authentication  
Communication Security mode the DATA bytes are not encrypted.

7.9.1 Operation  
The Write System Zone command writes data into the configuration memory. As each byte is clocked in to the memory  
the lower bits of the address are internally incremented. The upper address bits are not incremented, so the page  
address remains constant.  
Write operations cannot cross page boundaries; a Write System Zone command can only write data bytes within a single  
physical memory page. Attempts to write beyond the end of the page boundary will wrap to the beginning of the same  
page. Only PICCs in the Active State are permitted to answer this command.  
If Authentication or Encryption Communication Security is active the DATA bytes written to the password (PW) registers  
are encrypted; no other bytes are encrypted. In the Normal Communication Security mode none of the bytes are  
encrypted.  
The Write System Zone command includes an automatic data verification function when used on 88RF PICCs. After the  
EEPROM write is complete the data verification logic reads the new EEPROM contents and compares it to the data  
received in the Write System Zone command. If the data does not match then the PICC returns a NACK response with  
$ED in the status byte. If the data matches, the PICC returns an ACK response.

physical memory page. Attempts to write beyond the end of the page boundary will wrap to the beginning of the same  
page. Only PICCs in the Active State are permitted to answer this command. If the Encryption Communication mode is  
not active, then a NACK response is returned. If the checksum does not match, then a NACK response is returned, the  
write operation is aborted, and the cryptographic engine is reset.  
The Write System Zone command with Integrated MAC includes an automatic data verification function. After the  
EEPROM write is complete the data verification logic reads the new EEPROM contents and compares it to the data  
received in the Write System Zone command. If the data does not match the PICC returns a NACK response with $ED in  
the status byte. If the data matches, the PICC returns an ACK response.

7.12.1 Operation  
The Read System Zone command reads from the devices configuration memory. The data byte address is internally  
incremented as each byte is read from the memory. If the data byte address increments into a segment where read  
access is forbidden, the “fuse byte” is transmitted in place of the forbidden data. Only PICCs in the Active State are  
permitted to answer this command.  
If Authentication or Encryption Communication Security is active the DATA bytes read from the password (PW) registers  
are encrypted; no other bytes are encrypted. In the Normal Communication Security mode none of the bytes are  
encrypted.

7.12.3 Response Field Descriptions  
CID:  
The PICC transmits its assigned card ID in the response.  
The data bytes read from the configuration memory.  
DATA:  
Since access rights vary throughout the system zone, the host may provide an authorized starting address, but a length  
that causes the device to reach forbidden data. In this case, the device will transmit the authorized bytes, but  
unauthorized bytes will be replaced by the “fuse byte”. An “Access Denied” status code $BA or $BC will be returned to  
indicate that some of the bytes returned were replaced by the “fuse byte”.  
ACK:  
Acknowledge, the command executed correctly.

the data received by the PICC is saved in a buffer until a cryptographic Checksum is received. The host uses the Send  
Checksum command to transmit the Checksum it has computed. If the checksum is valid the PICC writes the data; if the  
checksum is incorrect the data is discarded and the cryptographic engine is reset.  
Only PICCs in the Active State are permitted to answer this command.

7.19.1 Operation  
To read or write data in User Zones that require a password for access the host must carry out a password validation  
operation. To write data to the Configuration Memory during personalization the host must carry out a transport password  
validation operation. The host uses the Check Password command to send the password for validation against the  
password selected with the Password Index byte. Only PICCs in the Active State are permitted to answer this command.  
If the Check Password is successful, the Password Attempts Counter (PAC) is cleared and the ACK response is issued.  
Only one password is active at any time. If the Check Password fails, the PAC is incremented and a NACK response is  
issued. The Check Password success or failure is memorized and active until the PICC is powered down, removed from  
the Active state, or until a new Check Password is received. If the password trials limit is reached, subsequent Check  
Password commands will be rejected.  
If the Authentication Communication mode or the Encryption Communication mode is active, then the three PW bytes  
are encryptedNakedn Normal Communication mode the PW bytes are not encrypted.

operation before accessing the User Zone.  
Note: The Set User Zone command may be sent before or after the security operation.

CryptoRF is fabricated with Atmel’s high reliability CMOS EEPROM manufacturing technology. The write endurance and  
data retention EEPROM reliability ratings apply to each byte of the user and configuration memory.  
The optional CryptoRF anti-tearing functions use a single anti-tearing EEPROM buffer memory. Every anti-tearing write  
operation utilizes the same buffer. The anti-tearing write endurance specification is a limitation in the total number of  
anti-tearing write operations that can be performed by each die.

Appendix D Configuration Memory Maps  
The Configuration Memory contains all of the system information used to configure the User Zones, plus 27 bytes of OTP  
memory that the customer can use to store data of any kind. The data in the Configuration Memory is locked by  
programming fuses during the personalization process so that the PICC configuration cannot be changed by the end  
user.

Access rights to the Configuration Memory are fixed in logic and are controlled by the security fuses. See Appendix G for  
access control and fuse information. The Read System Zone and Write System Zone commands are used to access the  
Configuration Memory.  
The contents of the Configuration Memory registers affect the functionality of CryptoRF and should be changed from  
their default configuration only after careful consideration. Incorrect or invalid settings can disable the device or prevent it  
from communicating with the PCD.  
Configuration Memory registers marked as Reserved or RFU must not be changed and cannot be used for customer  
data. Only 27 bytes of OTP memory are available for general customer use on 88SC PICCs and 25 bytes of OTP  
memory are available on 88RF PICCs, all other registers have assigned functionality. The OTP memory bytes available  
for customer use are described in Appendix E

Appendix E Device Personalization  
CryptoRF is delivered with the user memory filled with $FF data and with the security features disabled. Before issuing a  
CryptoRF PICC to the end user, it is personalized with initial data and the security settings. The last step in the  
personalization process is to program the security fuses.

E.1 User Memory Initialization  
The user memory is initialized by using the Set User Zone command to select a User Zone, and writing the initial data  
with Write User Zone commands. The data is then verified with the Read User Zone commands. Each User Zone is  
programmed in this manner.  
E.2 Polling Response and OTP Memory Personalization  
After initializing the user memory, the Configuration Memory is programmed with the polling response and OTP data.  
Table H-3 shows the polling response registers in blue, OTP memory in green, and access control registers in gray. The  
Unique Die Serial Number register is factory programmed and cannot be changed.  
There are 27 bytes of OTP memory available for customer use in 88SC PICCs, and 25 bytes in 88RF PICCs; these  
registers are shown in green in Table H-3 and Table H-4. See Appendix M for detailed information on configuration of the  
polling response registers. See Appendix H for detailed information on configuration of the access control registers.

E.4 Security Fuse Programming  
Three security fuses are programmed at the end of the personalization process to lock the PICC configuration. The Write  
Fuse Byte option of the Write System Zone command is used to program the fuses. A fourth fuse, SEC, is already  
programmed by Atmel before CryptoRF leaves the factory. The fuses can only be programmed in the specified order.  
The security fuse programming sequence is as follows:  
1. Send Write System Zone command with:  
PARAM = $01, ADDR = $06, L = $00, DATA = $00 to program the FAB or ENC fuse.  
2. Send Write System Zone command with:  
PARAM = $01, ADDR = $04, L = $00, DATA = $00 to program the CMA or SKY fuse.  
3. Send Write System Zone command with:  
PARAM = $01, ADDR = $00, L = $00, DATA = $00 to program the PER fuse.  
The response to each Write System Zone command should be ACK, and the fuse byte contents will be returned in the  
STATUS byte. After all three fuses are programmed, the device configuration is locked and personalization is complete.  
E.5 Secure Personalization  
The 88RF PICCs support an optional encrypted personalization mode for programming the device secrets. The Secure  
Personalization option is described in Appendix F This option is not available on 88SC PICCs.

Appendix F Secure Personalization [88RF]  
This appendix describes the optional Secure Personalization mode for 88RF PICCs. This mode allows the device secrets  
to be written with data encryption, so that eavesdropping on the personalization process cannot compromise the device  
secrets.

User Memory Initialization  
The User Memory is initialized by using the Set User Zone command to select a User Zone, and writing the initial data  
with Write User Zone commands. The data is automatically verified by the Automatic Data Write function as each Write  
User Zone command is processed. The data can also be verified with Read User Zone commands. Each User Zone is  
programmed in this manner.  
Transport Password Check  
The Transport Password must be presented using the Check Password command prior to writing the Configuration  
Memory. The Transport Password for each 88RF device is shown in Table F-1. The Transport Password is the same for  
every device with the same base part number; it is never changed by Atmel.

Security Fuse Programming  
The optional Secure Personalization mode is enabled and disabled by programming the security fuses. By default the  
Secure Personalization mode is disabled. Programming the ENC fuse enables Secure Personalization mode.  
Three security fuses are programmed during the personalization process to lock the PICC configuration. The Write Fuse  
Byte option of the Write System Zone command is used to program the fuses. A fourth fuse, SEC, is already  
programmed by Atmel before CryptoRF leaves the factory. The fuses can only be programmed in the specified order.  
The security fuse programming sequence is as follows:  
1. Send Write System Zone command with:  
PARAM = $01, ADDR = $06, L = $00, DATA = $00 to program the ENC (Encryption) fuse. The Secure Personal-  
ization mode is enabled by programming the ENC fuse.  
2. Send Write System Zone command with:  
PARAM = $01, ADDR = $04, L = $00, DATA = $00 to program the SKY (Secret Key) fuse. The secrets are locked  
and the Secure Personalization mode is disabled by programming the SKY fuse.  
3. Send Write System Zone command with:  
PARAM = $01, ADDR = $00, L = $00, DATA = $00 to program the PER (Personalization) fuse. The Transport  
Password is disabled by programming the PER fuse.  
The response to each Write System Zone command should be ACK, and the fuse byte contents will be returned in the  
STATUS byte. After all three fuses are programmed, the device configuration is locked and personalization is complete.  
F.4  
Secure Personalization Mode Data Encryption  
When the optional Secure Personalization mode is enabled by programming the ENC fuse to 0b, then certain registers in  
the configuration memory require communication encryption for read or write access. This is shown in Table F-2 below  
using color codes. The contents of registers with green shading are never encrypted when reading or writing, regardless  
of the communication security mode of the PICC. Access to registers with pink shading is forbidden; no read or write  
access is allowed.  
The registers shaded in blue contain device “secrets”, they cannot be written or read unless the Encryption  
Communication Security mode has been activated (with any key set). The contents of these “secrets” registers is  
encrypted when reading or writing. Use of the Write System Zone with Integrated MAC command is mandatory when  
writing the “secrets” registers (see Section 7.10).

Programming the SKY fuse locks the Secret Seeds and Session Encryption Key registers so that the contents cannot be  
read or changed. Once locked, these registers cannot be unlocked. The SKY fuse also disables the Secure  
Personalization mode and disables the Write System Zone with Integrated MAC command.  
The Configuration Memory Access requirements for all four of the Security Fuse states is described in Appendix G  
Note: It is not necessary to initialize the Session Encryption Key registers since any data contained in these registers  
will be overwritten by the first Authentication Activation attempt.

Appendix G Security Fuses  
There are four fuses which control access to the Configuration Memory. One fuse (SEC) is programmed by Atmel before  
CryptoRF leaves the factory; the remaining three fuses are programmed during the personalization process. Once a fuse  
is programmed, it can never be changed.  
These fuses do not control access to the user memory; user memory access rights are defined in the Access Registers.  
The security fuses are used to lock the state of the Access Registers, Passwords, Keys, and other configuration data  
during the personalization process so that they cannot be changed after a card is issued.  
G.1 Reading the Security Fuses  
To read the fuses send the Read System Zone command with PARAM = $01, ADDR = $FF, L = $00. The CryptoRF  
response will contain one data byte, the Fuse Byte. A value of 0b indicates the fuse has been programmed. Bits four to  
seven of this byte are not used as security fuses and are reserved by Atmel.

G.2 Programming the Fuse Bits  
Three security fuses are programmed at the end of the personalization process to lock the PICC configuration. The Write  
Fuse Byte option of the Write System Zone command is used to program the fuses. A fourth fuse, SEC, is already  
programmed by Atmel before CryptoRF leaves the factory. The fuses can only be programmed in the specified order.  
The security fuse programming sequence is as follows:  
1. Send Write System Zone command with:  
PARAM = $01, ADDR = $06, L = $00, DATA = $00 to program the FAB or ENC fuse.  
2. Send Write System Zone command with:  
PARAM = $01, ADDR = $04, L = $00, DATA = $00 to program the CMA or SKY fuse.  
3. Send Write System Zone command with:  
PARAM = $01, ADDR = $00, L = $00, DATA = $00 to program the PER fuse.  
The response to each Write System Zone command should be ACK, and the fuse byte contents will be returned in the  
STATUS byte. After all three fuses are programmed, the device configuration is locked.

Appendix H Configuration of Password and Access Control Registers  
There are two types of configuration registers in CryptoRF, User Zone access control registers, and Device Configuration  
Registers. The User Zone Access Registers (AR) set the access requirements for a single User Zone. The Device  
Configuration Register (DCR) selects optional behaviors for the PICC. Both types of registers are described in this  
appendix.  
H.1 User Zone Configuration Options  
Access to each User Zone in the CryptoRF user memory is controlled by two registers in the Configuration Memory. The  
Access Register controls the access conditions for the User Zone. The Password Register (PR) or Key Register (KR)  
controls the password set assigned to the User Zone. The default setting for these registers sets the security requirement  
to open access, no security features active, for all User Zones.  
Each set of User Zone access control registers has a name matched to the User Zone name. For example for 88SC  
PICCs, User Zone 1 is controlled by AR1 and PR1, User Zone 2 is controlled by AR2 and PR2. User Zone i is controlled  
by ARi and PRi.  
H.1.1 Access Registers (AR) [88SC]  
There is one Access Register for each User Zone in the user memory. The default state of this register is $FF, which  
disables all of the optional security features.

PM:  
Password Mode selection bits.  
The PM0 and PM1 bits control the password requirements for the User Zone as shown in Table H-1. By default, no  
password is required for access to the User Zone. If PM = 10b, then write password verification is required for write  
access; read access does not require any password. If PM = 01b or 00b, then write password verification is required for  
read/write access and read password verification is required for read-only access. The password set assigned to the  
zone is specified in the Password Register.

WLM: Write Lock Mode control.  
By default, the Write Lock Mode is disabled. If WLM = 0b, then Write lock Mode is enabled, and the User Zone is  
effectively divided into eight byte pages with the first byte of each page controlling write access to all eight bytes. Figure  
H-2 shows an example of WLM on two contiguous eight byte pages.

The first byte of each virtual eight byte page is called the Write Lock Byte. Each bit of the Write Lock Byte controls the  
locked status of one byte in the page. Write access is forbidden to a byte if its associated lock bit is set to 0b. Bit seven  
controls byte seven, bit six controls byte six, etc.  
Note: 1. When WLM is enabled, Write User Zone commands are restricted to a length of one byte.  
MDF:  
Modify Forbidden mode control.  
By default, the Modify Forbidden mode is disabled. If MDF = 0b, then Modify Forbidden mode is enabled, and no write  
access is allowed to the User Zone. The User Zone effectively becomes Read-Only Memory (ROM).  
PGO:  
Program Only mode control.  
By default, the Program Only mode is disabled. If PGO = 0b, then data within the User Zone may be changed from 1b to

SME:  
Supervisor Mode Enable control.  
By default, the Supervisor Mode is disabled on 88SC PICCs and enabled on 88RF PICCs. If SME = 0b, then Supervisor  
Mode is enabled and Password Write 7 becomes the Supervisor Password. Successful verification of the Supervisor  
Password grants read and write access to all passwords and Password Attempt Counters (PACs), allowing the  
passwords to be changed and PACs to be reset.  
UCR:  
Unlimited Checksum Read control. [88SC]  
By default, the UCR is disabled. If UCR = 0b, then Unlimited Checksum Reads are enabled. This function is intended for  
development use only, since it allows systematic attacks on the security. This function does not affect the Password  
Attempts Counters (PACs).  
UAT:  
Unlimited Authentication Trials control.  
By default, the UAT is disabled. If UAT = 0b, then the Authentication Attempts Counters (AACs) are disabled for all key  
sets. This function is intended for development use only, since it allows systematic attacks on the security. This function  
does not affect the Password Attempts Counters (PACs).  
ETA:  
Extended Trials Allowed control. [88SC]  
By default, the Extended Trials Allowed option is disabled. If this option is enabled by setting ETA = 0b, then the  
maximum number of authentication and password trials is increased to permit a maximum of eight attempts before a  
password or key is locked. If ETA is disabled, then only four attempts are permitted.  
EGTL:  
Extra Guard Time Length control.  
By default, the Extra Guard Time Length option is disabled, which maximizes RF communication speed. This option  
controls the Extra Guard Time (EGT) for all data transmitted by the PICC. The default setting of EGTL = 0b selects zero  
ETUs of EGT. Setting EGTL = 1b selects two ETUs of EGT for all transmissions. The EGTL option does not affect EGT  
requirements for data transmitted by the reader. See Appendix O for information about EGT.  
WCS:  
Write Checksum Timeout control. [88RF]  
By default, the WCS is enabled. In authentication and encryption communication security modes the correct checksum  
must be provided within 77ms, or the write operation is aborted. Setting WCS = 1b disables the timeout function.  
RCS:  
Read Checksum control. [88RF]  
By default, the RCS is enabled which allows one Read Checksum operation without resetting the cryptographic engine.

Appendix I Using Password Security  
CryptoRF contains security options that can be enabled by the customer at personalization. By default, no security is  
enabled, allowing CryptoRF to operate as a simple RFID EEPROM memory. Enabling password security on a User Zone  
restricts access to the data to users with knowledge of the password.  
I.1  
Communication Security  
Communication between the PICC and reader operates in three security modes. The normal mode allows  
communication of all types of data in the clear. Authentication mode encrypts only passwords. Encryption mode encrypts  
both user data and passwords. The default communication mode is Normal mode.

Note: 1. 88RF PICCs support an encryption option for programming secrets. See Appendix F.  
As shown in Table I-1, passwords sent by the Host to CryptoRF in Normal Communication Security mode are  
communicated in the clear, without being encrypted. In the Authentication or Encryption Communication Security modes,  
passwords are encrypted.  
I.2  
Transport Password  
The Transport Password protects the Configuration Memory contents on all CryptoRF devices from accidental changes.  
All CryptoRF devices are shipped from Atmel with a Transport Password stored in password register Write 7. No  
changes to the Configuration Memory are permitted unless the Transport Password has been verified using the Check  
Password command.

The Password and PAC Registers  
Each password set, along with its associated Password Attempt Counters, is stored in an eight byte segment in the  
Password section of the Configuration Memory. Figure I-1 illustrates password set “z” in the Configuration Memory map.  
The Write Password and Write Password PAC are stored in the lower four bytes, while the Read Password and Read  
Password PAC are stored in the upper four bytes.

The Password Attempt Counters contain a value which indicates how many unsuccessful password verification attempts  
have been made using the Password Index of the corresponding password. Table I-3, Table I-4, and Table I-5 show  
coding of the PAC register. On 88SC PICCs, the DCR register bit ETA selects the number of password attempt that are  
permitted; the default configuration allows four attempts, ETA = 0b allows eight attempts. On 88RF PICCs the maximum  
number of attempts is fifteen. If the PAC reaches the maximum count, then the corresponding password is locked and all  
subsequent Check Password commands will fail.  
I.4  
Password Security Options  
Password security for a User Zone is enabled by programming the Access Register for the zone. A Password Set is  
assigned to the User Zone by programming the Password Register for the zone. Configuration of the registers is  
described in Appendix H.

Table I-6 shows the available password security options. The default setting of PM=11b disables password security. The  
remaining two options enable password security for either writes only, or for both reads and writes.  
If PM = 10b, then the Write Password is required to be verified before a Write User Zone command will be accepted.  
Data reads are not restricted in this configuration.  
If read and write password security is enabled by setting PM = 01b or PM = 00b, then verification of the Read Password  
allows access to data with the Read User Zone command; however no write access is permitted. Verification of the Write  
Password allows access to the data with either Read User Zone or Write User Zone commands.  
I.5  
Password Verification  
A password is sent for verification using the Check Password command as shown in Figure I-2. The Password Index  
identifies the Password Register that the password will be compared against. If the passwords match, then the PICC will  
latch the verification status as PASS along with the Password Index in an internal register, write the PAC to show no  
failed attempts, and return an ACK in the response.  
The internal password security status register maintains its state until the PICC is reset or some other event causes them  
to be changed. For example, sending another Check Password command will update these registers to reflect the  
success or failure of the new password verification event.  
Note: Only one password is active at any time, and only the status of the most recent password verification event is  
stored in the PICC.  
If multiple User Zones are assigned the same Password Set, then a single Check Password command will provide  
access to all of these User Zones. Note that it does not matter if the Set User Zone command is sent before or after a  
Check Password command. The currently selected User Zone is stored in a register that is independent of the password  
security status register.

If a Check Password command fails, then the PICC returns a NACK and a non-zero Status byte in the response. This  
Status byte reports the reason for failure of the operation. See “Check Password Command [$cC]” on page 64 for a  
description of the Status codes.

NACK, Check Password Attempt Failure.  
Password Attempts Count  
A Check Password response NACK can be coded two different ways, depending on the reason for failure.  
If failure of the Check Password command results in the Password Attempt Counter being incremented, then the NACK  
byte will contain an embedded code indicating the number of failed attempts. This special NACK will contain one of the  
following values: $11, $21, $31, $41, $51, $61, $71, $81 for 88SC PICCs. The upper nibble of the NACK byte is the  
number of failed attempts (one to eight failures), while the lower nibble is the NACK code $1.  
For 88RF PICCs this special NACK will contain one of the following values: $11, $21, $31, $41, $51, $61, $71, $81, $91,  
$A1, $B1, $C1, $D1, $E1, $F1. The upper nibble of the NACK byte is the number of failed attempts (1 to 15 failures),  
while the lower nibble is the NACK code $1.  
If failure of the Check Password command does not results in the Password Attempt Counter being incremented, then  
the NACK byte will contain $01.  
I.6  
Changing Passwords  
To change a password after the personalization procedure is complete, and the card configuration has been locked by  
programming the security fuses, it is necessary to successfully verify the Write Password of a password set using the  
Check Password command. The Read Password and Write Password registers and PACs can then be written using a  
Write System Zone command, and verified using the Read System Zone command.  
If the PAC for the Write Password has reached the attempt count limit, then the Write Password will be locked, and it is  
not possible to change the passwords or PACs in this set; however, if the optional Supervisor Mode has been enabled in  
the DCR, then the Supervisor Password can be used to enable write access to the passwords unless the Supervisor  
Password is also locked.  
I.7  
Supervisor Password  
Supervisor Mode is an optional feature that can be enabled by programming SME = 0b in the DCR register. In Supervisor  
Mode, a Supervisor Password is enabled that grants read and write access to all of the password sets and PACs.  
Password Write 7 is the Supervisor Password if SME = 0b.  
If the Supervisor Password is successfully verified, then it is possible to write any of the passwords and PACs. This  
allows passwords to be easily changed in the field, and for PACs to be reset to $FF (no unsuccessful attempts) by writing  
the registers using the Write System Zone command.  
When a PICC is configured with SME = 0b, it is recommended that Password Set 7 be reserved for the Supervisor  
Password. User Zones using password security should be configured to use other password sets. If a PICC is configured  
in this manner, then it is unlikely that the PAC for Password Write 7 will accidentally become locked (due to too many  
unsuccessful attempts). If the PAC for Password Write 7 is locked, then all subsequent attempts to verify the Supervisor  
Password will fail.  
Supervisor Mode changes the Configuration Memory access requirements for the Password section of the memory only.  
Enabling Supervisor Mode does not change the access requirements for any other configuration registers.

Appendix J Using Authentication Communication Security  
CryptoRF contains security options that can be enabled by the customer at personalization. By default, no security is  
enabled, allowing CryptoRF to operate as a simple RFID EEPROM memory. Enabling Authentication Communication  
Security on a User Zone restricts access to the data to users with knowledge of the Authentication key.  
J.1  
Communication Security  
Communication between the PICC and reader operates in three security modes. The Normal mode allows  
communication of all types of data in the clear. Authentication Communication Security mode encrypts only passwords.  
Encryption Communication Security mode encrypts both user data and passwords. The default communication mode is  
Normal mode.

Note: 1. 88RF PICCs support an encryption option for programming secrets. See Appendix F.  
Authentication Communication Security is activated by performing Mutual Authentication between the Host system and  
the PICC using the Verify Crypto command. Once activated, the PICC will remain in Authentication mode until a security  
error occurs, a new Verify Crypto command is received, RF power is removed, or a DESELECT command or IDLE  
command is received.  
J.2  
Authentication Security Options [88SC]  
Authentication Communication Security for a User Zone is enabled by programming the Access Register (AR) and  
Password Register (PR) for the zone. The Communication Security Mode (M) bits [AM1, AM0, ER] of the Access  
Register determine the Communication Security requirements for the User Zone. The Password Register determines  
which Key Set(s) are used to access the User Zone. Configuration of the AR and PR registers is described in  
Appendix H

J.2.1 M = 001b Security — Dual Access Authentication Mode  
When M = 001b Authentication is required for Read or Write access to the User Zone. If Authentication is performed with  
the key identified in the POK bits of the Password Register, then Read and Program-Only access is granted to the User  
Zone. In this state data may be changed from 1b to 0b, but never from 0b to 1b.  
If Authentication is performed with the key identified in the AK bits of the Password Register, then full Read/Write access  
is granted to the User Zone. A checksum is required for write operations.  
J.2.2 M = 011b Security – Authentication for Read/Write  
When M = 011b Authentication is required for Read or Write access to the User Zone. If Authentication is performed with  
the key identified in the AK bits of the Password Register, then Read/Write access is granted to the User Zone. A  
checksum is required for write operations.  
J.2.3 M = 101b Security – Authentication for Write  
When M = 101b Authentication is required for Write access to the User Zone. If Authentication is performed with the key  
identified in the AK bits of the Password Register, then Read/Write access is granted to the User Zone. Read-Only  
access does not require Authentication or Encryption Activation. A checksum is required for write operations.  
J.3  
Authentication Security Options [88RF]  
Authentication Communication Security for a User Zone is enabled by programming the Access Register (AR) and Key  
Register (KR) for the zone. The Communication Security Mode (M) bits of the Access Register determine the  
Communication Security requirements for the User Zone. The Key Register determines which Key Set(s) are used to  
access the User Zone. Configuration of the AR and KR registers is described in Appendix H.

J.3.1 M = 010b Security - Authentication for Read / Encryption for Write  
When M = 010b Authentication is required for Read access to the User Zone. Encryption Activation is required for Write  
Access to the User Zone. If Authentication is performed with the key identified in the ROK bits of the Key Register, then  
Read-Only access is granted to the User Zone. If Encryption Activation is performed with the key identified in the PK bits  
of the Key Register, then Read/Write access is granted to the User Zone. A checksum is required for write operations.  
The M = 010b mode is a new feature in 88RF PICCs. This mode is not available in 88SC devices.

J.3.2 M = 011b Security - Authentication for Read / Write  
When M = 011b Authentication is required for Read or Write access to the User Zone. If Authentication is performed with  
the key identified in the PK bits of the Key Register, then Read/Write access is granted to the User Zone. If  
Authentication is performed with the key identified in the ROK bits of the Key Register, then Read-Only access is granted  
to the User Zone. A checksum is required for write operations.  
If the PK and ROK bits of the Key Register select the same Key Set, then the Read-Only function is effectively disabled.  
Authenticating 88RF PICCs with the PK key results in behavior identical to 88SC devices. The Read-Only function is not  
supported by 88SC devices.  
J.3.3 M = 101b Security - Authentication for Write  
When M = 101b Authentication is required for Write access to the User Zone. If Authentication is performed with the key  
identified in the PK bits of the Key Register, then Read/Write access is granted to the User Zone. Read-Only access  
does not require Authentication or Encryption Activation. A checksum is required for write operations.  
88RF PICC behavior is identical to 88SC devices when M = 101b.  
J.4  
The Password Register [88SC]  
The Password Registers are used to select the Key Sets for Authentication or Encryption Communication Security. Any  
Key Set can be used with any User Zone by programming the Key Register for the User Zone with the appropriate AK  
and POK values. One Key Set can be used with any number of User Zones.

Key Sets  
CryptoRF has four Key Sets. Each Key Set is associated with four registers in the Configuration Memory. The  
Authentication Key is stored in the Secret Seed Gi register. The Authentication Attempt Counter for Secret Seed Gi is  
stored in the AACi register. The Cryptogram Ci register is used during Authentication Activation procedure to store the  
response to the Host challenge. The Session Key Si register is used to store the Encryption Activation key.

Note: All of the Security Fuses must be programmed during personalization for the device secrets to be secure.  
Key Set i uses registers AACi, Ci, Gi, and Si. If AACi is locked, the Key Set i is permanently disabled and any User Zone  
requiring Key Set i for Authentication or Encryption Activation will no longer be accessible.  
J.6.1 Changing Keys  
The Secret Seeds cannot be modified after the Security Fuses are programmed during personalization. The AAC  
registers cannot be re-written after the Security Fuses are programmed either. This is true even if the SME option in the  
DCR register is enabled.

AAC Registers  
The Authentication Attempt Counters contain a value which indicates how many unsuccessful Authentication attempts  
have been made using the Key Index of the corresponding Secret Seed. Table J-8, Table J-9 and Table J-10 shows  
coding of the AAC register. If the AAC reaches the maximum count of four or eight on 88SC PICCs, then the  
corresponding key set is locked and all subsequent Authentication attempts will fail. If the AAC reaches the maximum  
count of 15 on 88RF PICCs, then the corresponding key set is locked and all subsequent Authentication attempts will fail.  
If the AAC contents are corrupted, or are programmed with an undefined value, then the corresponding key set is locked  
and all subsequent Authentication attempts will fail. The AAC registers can always be read using the Read System Zone  
command.

Authentication Activation  
Authentication Communication Security is activated using the following Mutual Authentication procedure.  
1. The Host reads the PICC ID from Nc (or another equivalent memory location) and calculates the diversified key  
matching the PICC Secret Seed G. G = F1(K, ID, x, y, z).  
2. The Host reads AACi and Ci from card.  
3. The Host generates a Random Number QA and calculates challenge CHA and other parameters with the  
cryptographic engine: [CHA, CA, SA] = F2(G, C, QA).  
4. The Host Sends Verify Crypto Command with Key Index $0i: Verify Crypto ($0i, QA, CHA).  
5. The PICC calculates challenge CH and other parameters using QA from the host with the cryptographic engine:  
[CH, CiA, SiA] = F2(Gi, Ci, QA).  
6. The PICC compares the internally calculated challenge CH to the value received from the host. If CH = CHA then  
the host is authenticated and the card writes the calculated values of CiA to the Ci register and SiA to the Si register.  
The AACi is cleared, Authentication Communication Security mode is activated, and an ACK response is returned  
to the host.  
7. The Host reads the new AACi and CiA from Ci register of the PICC and compares it to the calculated CA from  
Step 3. If CA = CiA then the card is authenticated. The Mutual Authentication procedure is complete.  
The Secret Seed Gi value in the PICC never changes after it is locked at personalization. The AACi, and Ci registers are  
written (by the PICC) each time a Verify Crypto command is received by the PICC. The Si register is written (by the  
PICC) each time the Mutual Authentication procedure succeeds.  
If the Host receives a NACK response from the PICC, then the Mutual Authentication procedure can be retried starting  
with step 2.  
Figure J-4 shows the Mutual Authentication procedure as a flowchart.

Set User Zone and Checksums  
The Mutual Authentication procedure can be performed before or after the Set User Zone command is sent. It is not  
necessary to repeat the Mutual Authentication procedure when changing User Zones unless the new User Zone requires  
a different Key Set. If Authentication Communication Security is activated and the application later selects a User Zone  
that does not require Authentication, the PICC will remain in Authentication Communication Security mode and all of the  
Authentication mode requirements will continue to apply.  
When Authentication Communication Security is active the Host must supply a correct cryptographic checksum when  
writing data to a User Zone. This is true even if the User Zone Access Register does not require Authentication for  
access to the zone.  
J.10 Passwords  
When Authentication Communication Security is active Passwords are encrypted during communications. The Host is  
required to encrypt the three password bytes when sending the Check Password command. The PICC encrypts any  
password bytes that are accessed with the Read System Zone command. The Host is required to encrypt any password  
bytes when sending the Write System Zone command.  
J.11 Deactivating Authentication Communication Security  
Once activated, the PICC will remain in Authentication Communication Security mode until a security error occurs, a new  
Verify Crypto command is received, RF power is removed, or a DESELECT command or IDLE command is received.  
In some applications it is necessary to deactivate Authentication Communication Security so that data can be written to a  
User Zone that has open read/write access without the necessity of computing a cryptographic checksum. While there  
are several possible ways to reset the cryptographic engine and exit the Authentication Communication Security mode, it  
is recommended that the Send Checksum command be used for this purpose.  
If the PICC receives a Send Checksum command containing an incorrect checksum, the PICC resets the cryptographic  
engine, returns to Normal Communication mode, and returns a NACK response to the host. The AACi register is not  
incremented by the PICC when a bad checksum is received, so there is no penalty for using Send Checksum to exit  
Authentication mode.

Appendix K Using Encryption Communication Security  
CryptoRF contains security options that can be enabled by the customer at personalization. By default no security is  
enabled, allowing CryptoRF to operate as a simple RFID EEPROM memory. Enabling Encryption Communication  
Security on a User Zone restricts access to the data to users with knowledge of the Authentication key.  
K.1 Communication Security  
Communication between the PICC and reader operates in three security modes. The Normal mode allows  
communication of all types of data in the clear. Authentication Communication Security mode encrypts only passwords.  
Encryption Communication Security mode encrypts both user data and passwords. The default communication mode is  
Normal mode.

Note: 1. 88RF PICCs support an encryption option for programming secrets. See Appendix F.  
Encryption Communication Security is activated by performing Mutual Authentication between the Host system and the  
PICC using the Verify Crypto command, followed by the Encryption Activation procedure. Once activated, the PICC will  
remain in Encryption mode until a security error occurs, a new Verify Crypto command is received, RF power is removed,  
or a DESELECT command or IDLE command is received.  
K.2 Encryption Security Options [88SC]  
Encryption Communication Security for a User Zone is enabled by programming the Access Register (AR) and Password  
Register (PR) for the zone. The Communication Security Mode (M) bits [AM1, AM0, ER] of the Access Register  
determine the Communication Security requirements for the User Zone. The Password Register determines which Key  
Set is used to access the User Zone. Configuration of the AR and PR registers is described in Appendix H.

By default M = 111b, and no Authentication or Encryption Activation is required to access the user memory.  
K.2.1 M = 110b Security – Encryption for Read/Write  
When M = 110b, Encryption is required for Read or Write access to the User Zone. If Encryption Activation is performed  
with the key identified in the AK bits of the Password Register, then Read/Write access is granted to the User Zone. A  
checksum is required for write operations.

K.3 Encryption Security Options [88RF]  
Encryption Communication Security for a User Zone is enabled by programming the Access Register (AR) and Key  
Register (KR) for the zone. The Communication Security Mode (M) bits of the Access Register determine the  
Communication Security requirements for the User Zone. The Key Register determines which Key Set(s) are used to  
access the User Zone. Configuration of the AR and KR registers is described in Appendix H.

No Authentication or Encryption Required  
Table K-3 shows the three Encryption Security options for 88RF PICCs, plus the default setting. By default M = 111b,  
and no Authentication or Encryption Activation is required to access the user memory.  
K.3.1 M = 010b Security - Authentication for Read / Encryption for Write  
When M = 010b, Authentication is required for Read access to the User Zone. Encryption Activation is required for Write  
Access to the User Zone. If Authentication is performed with the key identified in the ROK bits of the Key Register, then  
Read-Only access is granted to the User Zone. If Encryption Activation is performed with the key identified in the PK bits  
of the Key Register, then Read/Write access is granted to the User Zone. A checksum is required for write operations.  
The M = 010b mode is a new feature in 88RF PICCs. This mode is not available in 88SC devices.  
K.3.2 M = 100b Security - Encryption for Write  
When M = 100b Encryption is required for Write access to the User Zone. If Encryption Activation is performed with the  
key identified in the PK bits of the Key Register, then Read/Write access is granted to the User Zone. Read-Only access  
does not require Authentication or Encryption Activation. A checksum is required for write operations.  
The M = 100b mode is a new feature in 88RF PICCs. This mode is not available in 88SC devices.  
K.3.3 M = 110b Security — Encryption for Read/Write  
When M = 110b Encryption is required for Read or Write access to the User Zone. If Encryption Activation is performed  
with the key identified in the PK bits of the Key Register, then Read/Write access is granted to the User Zone. If  
Encryption Activation is performed with the key identified in the ROK bits of the Key Register, then Read-Only access is  
granted to the User Zone. A checksum is required for write operations.  
If the PK and ROK bits of the Key Register select the same Key Set, then the Read-Only function is effectively disabled.  
Encryption Activation of 88RF PICCs with the PK key results in behavior identical to 88SC devices. The Read-Only  
function is not supported by 88SC devices.

K.4 The Password Register [88SC]  
The Password Registers are used to select the Key Sets for Authentication or Encryption Communication Security on  
88SC PICCs. Any Key Set can be used with any User Zone by programming the Password Register for the User Zone  
with the appropriate AK and POK values. One Key Set can be used with any number of User Zones.

K.5 The Key Register [88RF]  
The Key Registers are used to select the Key Sets for Authentication or Encryption Communication Security on 88RF  
PICCs. Any Key Set can be used with any User Zone by programming the Key Register for the User Zone with the  
appropriate PK and ROK values. One Key Set can be used with any number of User Zones.

K.6 Key Sets  
CryptoRF has four Key Sets. Each Key Set is associated with four registers in the Configuration Memory. The  
Authentication Key is stored in the Secret Seed Gi register. The Authentication Attempt Counter for Secret Seed Gi is  
stored in the AACi register. The Cryptogram Ci register is used during Authentication Activation and Encryption Activation  
procedures to store the response to the Host challenge. The Session Key Si register is used to store the Encryption  
Activation key.

green can always be read, but cannot be written after personalization. The registers shaded in blue cannot be written or  
read after personalization.  
Note: All of the Security Fuses must be programmed during personalization for the device secrets to be secure.  
Key Set i uses registers AACi, Ci, Gi and Si. If AACi is locked, the Key Set i is permanently disabled and any User Zone  
requiring Key Set i for Authentication or Encryption Activation will no longer be accessible.  
K.6.1 Changing Keys  
The Secret Seeds cannot be modified after the Security Fuses are programmed during personalization. The AAC  
registers cannot be re-written after the Security Fuses are programmed either. This is true even if the SME option in the  
DCR register is enabled.

K.7 AAC Registers  
The Authentication Attempt Counters contain a value which indicates how many unsuccessful Authentication and  
Encryption Activation attempts have been made using the Key Index of the corresponding Secret Seed and Session  
Encryption Key. Table K-8, Table K-9, and Table J-10 show coding of the AAC register. If the AAC reaches the maximum  
count of four or eight on 88SC PICCs, then the corresponding key set is locked and all subsequent Authentication  
attempts will fail. If the AAC reaches the maximum count of 15 on 88RF PICCs, then the corresponding key set is locked  
and all subsequent Authentication attempts will fail.  
If the AAC contents are corrupted, or are programmed with an undefined value, then the corresponding key set is locked  
and all subsequent Authentication attempts will fail. The AAC registers can always be read using the Read System Zone  
command.

K.8 Encryption Activation  
Authentication Activation must be performed prior to Encryption Activation. The Mutual Authentication is performed in  
steps one thru seven, and Encryption Activation in steps eight thru eleven of the following procedure.  
1. The Host reads the PICC ID from Nc (or another equivalent memory location) and calculates the diversified key  
matching the PICC Secret Seed G. G = F1(K, ID, x, y, z).  
2. The Host reads AACi and Ci from card.  
3. The Host generates a Random Number QA and calculates challenge CHA and other parameters with the  
cryptographic engine: [CHA, CA, SA] = F2(G, C, QA)  
4. The Host Sends Verify Crypto Command with Key Index $0i: Verify Crypto ($0i, QA, CHA)  
5. The PICC calculates challenge CH and other parameters using QA from the host with the cryptographic engine:  
[CH, CiA, SiA] = F2(Gi, Ci, QA)  
6. The PICC compares the internally calculated challenge CH to the value received from the host. If CH = CHA then  
the host is authenticated and the card writes the calculated values of CiA to the Ci register and SiA to the Si  
register. The AACi is cleared, Authentication Communication Security mode is activated, and an ACK response is  
returned to the host.  
7. The Host reads the new AACi and CiA from Ci register of the PICC and compares it to the calculated CA from  
Step 3. If CA = CiA, then the card is authenticated. The Mutual Authentication procedure is complete.  
8. The Host generates a Random Number QE and calculates challenge CHE and other parameters with the  
cryptographic engine: [CHE, CE] = F2(SiA, CiA, QE).  
9. The Host Sends Verify Crypto Command with Key Index $1i: Verify Crypto ($1i, QE, CHE).  
10. The PICC calculates challenge CH and other parameters using QE from the host with the cryptographic engine:  
[CH, CiE] = F2(SiA, CiA, QE).  
11. The PICC compares the internally calculated challenge CH to the value received from the host. If CH = CHE, then  
the host is authenticated and the card writes the calculated value of CiE to the Ci register. The AACi is cleared,  
Encryption Communication Security mode is activated, and an ACK response is returned to the host.  
The Secret Seed Gi value in the PICC never changes after it is locked at personalization. The AACi, and Ci registers are  
written (by the PICC) each time a Verify Crypto command is received by the PICC. The Si register is written (by the  
PICC) each time the Mutual Authentication procedure succeeds.  
If the Host receives a NACK response from the PICC, then the Mutual Authentication procedure can be retried starting  
with step 2.  
Figure J-4 shows the Authentication Activation procedure as a flowchart. Figure K-4 shows the Encryption Activation  
procedure as a flowchart.

K.9 Set User Zone and Checksums  
The Mutual Authentication and Encryption Activation procedures can be performed before or after the Set User Zone  
command is sent. It is not necessary to repeat the Mutual Authentication and Encryption Activation procedure when  
changing User Zones unless the new User Zone requires a different Key Set. If Encryption Communication Security is  
activated and the application later selects a User Zone that does not require Encryption, the PICC will remain in  
Encryption Communication Security mode, User Zone data will be encrypted, and all of the Encryption mode  
requirements will continue to apply.  
When Encryption Communication Security is active the Host must supply a correct cryptographic checksum when writing  
data to a User Zone. This is true even if the User Zone Access Register does not require Encryption for access to the  
zone.  
K.10 Passwords  
When Encryption Communication Security is active Passwords are encrypted during communications. The Host is  
required to encrypt the three password bytes when sending the Check Password command. The PICC encrypts any  
password bytes that are accessed with the Read System Zone command. The Host is required to encrypt any password  
bytes when sending the Write System Zone command.  
K.11 Deactivating Encryption Communication Security  
Once activated, the PICC will remain in Encryption Communication Security mode until a security error occurs, a new  
Verify Crypto command is received, RF power is removed, or a DESELECT command or IDLE command is received.  
In some applications, it is necessary to deactivate Encryption Communication Security so that data can be written to a  
User Zone that has open read/write access without the necessity of computing a cryptographic checksum. While there  
are several possible ways to reset the cryptographic engine and exit the Encryption Communication Security mode, it is  
recommended that the Send Checksum command be used for this purpose.  
If the PICC receives a Send Checksum command containing an incorrect checksum, the PICC resets the cryptographic  
engine, returns to Normal Communication mode, and returns a NACK response to the host. The AACi register is not  
incremented by the PICC when a bad checksum is received, so there is no penalty for using Send Checksum to exit  
Authentication or Encryption mode.

Appendix L Understanding Anti-Tearing  
Anti-tearing is an optional feature that protects a write operation from being corrupted due to PICC power loss during the  
write operation. This feature can be enabled as needed by the Host during a transaction, it is not controlled by any  
configuration register.  
L.1  
Tearing Explained  
A tearing attack on a Smartcard transaction involves quickly removing a card from the reader before a transaction has  
been completed. The object of a tearing attack is to remove the card from the reader after the Host application has  
granted access to a product, but before the cost of the product has been deducted from the value stored on the card.  
Both contact and contactless Smartcard transactions may be attacked in this manner. A tearing attack often results in  
corruption of a portion of the data stored in the Smartcard.  
Tearing attacks can be prevented from succeeding by careful application software development; if access to a product is  
not granted until after a Smartcard value debit has occurred, then the attacker cannot achieve his objective. However  
data corruption can occur if any Smartcard transaction is interrupted due to power loss.  
L.2  
CryptoRF Anti-Tearing  
CryptoRF is designed with an anti-tearing feature that prevents data corruption in the event a memory write operation is  
interrupted. Activating the anti-tearing feature impacts both the transaction time and the memory write endurance of the  
PICC, so it should be activated only for critical data write operations.  
Figure L-1 illustrates how a CryptoRF PICC performs an anti-tearing write. A CryptoRF anti-tearing write is a four step  
process. The data is written to a buffer EEPROM memory before being written to the final EEPROM memory location.  
The EEPROM Anti-Tearing Flag indicates if an anti-tearing write is in progress, or is completed.  
The Anti-Tearing Flag is checked each time the PICC is powered up. If the flag indicates a write was in progress, then the  
Anti-Tearing Write will be completed before the PICC is allowed to accept any commands.  
The memory address and data are written to a buffer EEPROM in Step 1, followed by writing the Anti-Tearing Flag in  
Step 2. In Step 3 the data in the buffer EEPROM is written to the address sent with the write command (the final  
EEPROM memory location). The Anti-Tearing flag is cleared in Step 4, and the ACK response is returned to the PCD.  
If power is interrupted before Step 2 is completed, then the write operation fails; the EEPROM contents are unchanged,  
and the Anti-Tearing Flag is not set to indicate an anti-tearing write is in progress. If power is interrupted after Step 2 is  
complete, then the Anti-Tearing flag is set; when the PICC is next powered up, the anti-tearing write will be completed as  
part of the POR process. If power is interrupted during Step 3 or 4, the Anti-Tearing Flag will be set and the write will be  
completed on the next POR.  
Table L.3 shows the consequences of a tearing attack occurring at each step during an anti-tearing write. The EEPROM  
contents at the address being written will either remain unchanged, or will be written with the new data. The EEPROM is  
not corrupted by power interruption during an anti-tearing write operation.

L.3  
Performance Impact of Anti-Tearing  
Anti-tearing impacts the CryptoRF write transaction time in two ways:  
First, the maximum length of a write command is limited to eight bytes when anti-tearing is active.  
Second, the response time of a write command is increased by approximately four times due to additional  
EEPROM memory writes which occur when anti-tearing is active.  
If anti-tearing is used to write eight bytes of data, the net result is an increase in the transaction time of only 5ms. When  
large amounts of data are written, the increase in transaction time is significant. Writing the entire 128 byte User Zone on  
AT88RF04C takes 155ms with anti-tearing, but only 47ms without anti-tearing. Writing the entire 256 byte User Zone on  
AT88SC3216CRF takes 292ms with anti-tearing, but only 54ms without anti-tearing.

Reliability Impact of Anti-Tearing  
Each byte of the CryptoRF EEPROM user memory and configuration memory is rated for 100k write cycles minimum.  
The entire memory can be written at least 100,000 times without wearing out any of the EEPROM memory bits.

All anti-tearing write commands sent to a PICC are processed in a single buffer EEPROM memory before being written to  
the final EEPROM memory location. As a result, the write endurance for anti-tearing writes is a per-unit specification, not  
a per-byte specification. A minimum of 50,000 anti-tearing write commands can be processed without wearing out any of  
the buffer EEPROM bits, or the EEPROM Anti-Tearing Flag bits.

Activating Anti-Tearing  
Anti-Tearing can be used for either User Zone or Configuration Memory writes on 88SC PICCs. Anti-Tearing is available  
for User Zone writes only on 88RF PICCs. Activation of this optional feature is described in this section.  
The Set User Zone command is used to activate the anti-tearing feature when writing the user memory. To turn anti-  
tearing on, send a Set User Zone command with bit seven in the PARAM byte set to 1b. Any Write User Zone command  
that is received following anti-tearing activation will automatically use the anti-tearing write process. To turn anti-tearing  
off, send a Set User Zone command with bit seven in the PARAM byte set to 0b. All subsequent Write User Zone  
commands will automatically use the normal write process.

When writing the Configuration Memory on 88SC PICCs, the anti-tearing function is controlled by the PARAM byte of the  
Write System Zone command. Table L-2 shows the PARAM byte options. If the PARAM byte of the Write System Zone  
command is $80, then the anti-tearing write process is used. If the PARAM byte of the Write System Zone command is  
$00, then the normal write process is used.

Appendix M Personalization of the Anticollision Registers  
There are several registers that define the polling response of CryptoRF, which are written during the personalization  
process. The ISO/IEC 14443 Part 3 requirements must be considered when programming these registers. Incorrect  
personalization of these registers may cause readers to reject cards or to become confused and unable to complete the  
transaction. This appendix describes the requirements for programming the polling registers for operation with ISO/IEC  
14443 compliant readers and systems.  
M.1 Anticollision Procedure  
The RF reader (PCD) searches for Type B cards by issuing REQB or WUPB polling commands. These commands  
contain an AFI (Application Family Identifier) code to poll for only cards with a matching AFI code. Applications  
supporting multiple cards may also poll using the Slot MARKER command. See Appendix N for a detailed description of  
the anticollision procedures.  
The answer to any of these polling commands is called the ATQB response. This response contains a card serial number  
(PUPI), which is used to identify a specific card during the anticollision process, along with three protocol bytes. The  
protocol bytes tell the PCD what communication capabilities and options the card supports, and are used by the reader to  
configure itself for optimum communications with the card.  
M.2 Anticollision Registers  
The ATQB response of CryptoRF contains several values that are located in registers in the anticollision section of the  
System Zone (see Figure M-1 and Figure M-2). The values stored in the following registers are used during anticollision:  
PUPI, APP, RBmax, and AFI.

The REQB/WUPB polling command and response are shown in Figure M-3 with color-coding which matches Figure M-1  
and Appendix M-2. Nine bytes of the ATQB response are customer programmable on CryptoRF. In addition, the AFI  
code used for selection of cards for a particular application during anticollision is also customer configured.

The definitions of the polling configuration registers in the System Zone are listed below along with any restrictions which  
ISO/IEC 14443 Part 3 places on the register values.  
PUPI:  
Pseudo Unique PICC Identifier  
PUPI is a 32 bit serial number defined by the customer during personalization; the PUPI is usually unique. This code is  
transmitted as part of the ATQB response during anticollision. PUPI may be set to any value.  
APP:  
Application Data  
APP is an additional 32 bits of information transmitted as part of the ATQB response. This field is defined by the  
customer during personalization. The fourth byte is programmed by Atmel at the factory with a memory density code (see  
Table M-1); this byte can be redefined by the card manufacturer if desired. APP may be set to any value.

RBmax:  
Receive Buffer Max Code  
This 8-bit register is transmitted as Protocol 2 byte of the ATQB response. This register is programmed by Atmel with the  
receive buffer maximum frame size code. This field can be reprogrammed by the customer during personalization if  
desired. The value of this protocol byte is restricted by ISO/IEC 14443 Part 3 to the values $00, $10, $20, $30, $40, $50,  
$60, $70, or $80 only. Use of an unapproved value in this register is likely to cause PCDs to malfunction.  
The Protocol 2 byte of the ATQB response is defined in ISO/IEC 14443 Part 3, Section 7.9. This byte contains the Part 4  
compliance code in the lower four bits and the code for the maximum frame size supported by the card in the upper four  
bits. CryptoRF must return a value of $0 in the Part 4 compliance bits to indicate the PICC does not support the optional  
ISO/IEC 14443 Part 4 Active State protocol. The coding of the card maximum frame size bits is shown in Table M-2.

The PCD will store the lower four bits of ATQB Protocol Byte 2 in a register and echo it back to a selected PICC in the  
lower four bits of ATTRIB Parameter Byte 3. CryptoRF will not accept an ATTRIB command with a non-zero value in  
Parameter Byte 3.  
Note: Intelligent PCDs will reject invalid ATQB responses and will not send invalid ATTRIB commands.

AFI:  
Application Family Identifier  
This eight bit register identifies the application family and subfamily. This field is defined by the card manufacturer and is  
used during the anticollision process to determine which cards will respond to an REQB or WUPB polling command. This  
value is expected to be a single fixed value for all cards used in a particular system.  
The upper four bits are the application family and the lower four bits are the subfamily. The ISO/IEC 14443 Part 3 Type B  
application family definitions are shown in Table M-4. The AFI register will accept any code; however, only family codes  
of $0 to $F and subfamily codes of $1 to $F should be used. AFI Register values of $00, $10, $20, $30, $40, $50, $60,  
$70, $80, $90, $A0, $B0, $C0, $D0, $E0, and $F0 are prohibited and may cause PCDs to malfunction. Values defined as  
RFU are reserved for future definition by ISO and may not be supported by all readers. A card using an RFU value for the  
AFI is not compliant with ISO/IEC 14443 Part 3.

M.3 Summary  
The CryptoRF anticollision registers provide customers with the capability to customize the response of a CryptoRF  
PICC to the polling commands. This polling response is used by the PCD to perform anticollision and to determine the  
communication capabilities of the PICC. Intelligent RF readers will reconfigure themselves based on the contents of the  
protocol bytes in ATQB and may malfunction if invalid values are returned by the card. For this reason, the values of the  
CryptoRF anticollision registers must be carefully selected using the guidelines in this appendix.

Appendix N Understanding Anticollision  
This section of the specification and the flow chart in Figure N-1 describe the anticollision procedure for the CryptoRF  
family. The command and response definitions are detailed in Section 6. “Anticollision Command Definitions” on page  
12. For additional information on the anticollision command coding, see Section 7 of ISO/IEC 14443 Part 3 or the Atmel  
Application Note, Understanding the Requirements of ISO/IEC 14443 for Type B Proximity Contactless Identification  
Cards.  
When the PICC enters the 13.56MHz RF field of the host reader (PCD), it performs a Power-On Reset (POR) and waits  
silently for a valid Type B Polling command. The CryptoRF PICC processes the Anti-Tearing registers as part of the POR  
process.  
The PCD initiates the anticollision process by issuing an REQB or WUPB command. The WUPB command activates any  
card (PICC) in the field with a matching AFI code. The REQB command performs the same function, but does not affect  
a PICC in the Halt State. The REQB and WUPB commands contain an integer “N” indicating the number of Slots  
assigned to the anticollision process.  
If “N” = 1 then all PICCs (with a matching AFI) respond with the ATQB response. If “N” is greater than one, then the PICC  
selects a random number “R” in the range of one to “N”; if “R” = 1 then the PICC responds with ATQB. If “R” is greater  
than one, then the PICC waits for a Slot MARKER command where the slot number “S” is equal to “R”, then it responds  
with ATQB. The PCD polls all of the slots to determine if any PICC is present in the field.  
The ATQB response contains a PUPI card serial number which is used to direct commands to a specific PICC during the  
anticollision process. When the PCD receives an ATQB response, it can respond with a matching HLTB command to  
Halt the PICC, or it can respond with a matching ATTRIB command to assign a Card ID Number (CID) and place the  
PICC in the Active State. Once placed in the Active State, the PICC is ready for transactions using the CryptoRF Active  
State commands. A PICC in the Active State ignores all commands that do not contain a CID number which matches the  
CID assigned by the ATTRIB command. A PICC in the Active State ignores all REQB, WUPB, Slot MARKER, ATTRIB,  
and HLTB commands.  
When the PCD receives an ATQB response with a CRC error, then a collision is assumed to have occurred. Typically,  
the PCD will complete transactions with any other PICCs in the field, and then place them in the Halt State using a  
DESELECT command. The PCD will then issue a new REQB command, causing each PICC in the field (with a matching  
AFI) that has not been Halted to select a new random number “R”. This procedure resolves the conflict between the  
previously colliding PICCs, allowing the PCD to communicate with them.  
The anticollision process continues in this manner until all PICCs in the field have completed their transactions. Any  
command received by the PICC with a CRC error is ignored.  
Note: ISO/IEC 14443 Part 3 describes two anticollision options for Type B PICCs; the Timeslot option has been imple-  
mented in the CryptoRF family.

Appendix O The ISO/IEC 14443 Type B RF Signal Interface  
O.1 RF Signal Interface  
The CryptoRF communications interface is compliant with the ISO/IEC 14443 Part 2 and Part 3 requirements for Type B.  
Type B signaling utilizes ten percent amplitude modulation of the RF field for communication from the reader to the card  
with NRZ encoded data. Communication from card to reader utilizes BPSK load modulation of an 847.5khz subcarrier  
with NRZ-L encoded data. The RF field is continuously on for Type B communications.  
O.2 Data Format  
Data communication between the card and reader is performed using an LSB first data format. Each byte of data is  
transmitted with a 0b start bit and a 1b stop bit as shown in Figure O-1. The stop bit, start bit, and each data bit are each  
one elementary time unit (ETU) in length (9.4395μs).  
Each byte transmission consists of a Start bit, eight data bits (LSB first), and a Stop bit. Each byte may be separated from  
the next byte by Extra Guard Time (EGT). The EGT may be zero or a fraction of an ETU. EGT cannot exceed 57μs for  
data transmitted by the PCD. EGT for data transmitted by the CryptoRF PICC is programmed to either zero or two ETUs  
using the EGTL bit of the Device Configuration Register (DCR). The position of each bit is measured relative to the falling  
edge of the start bit.

All bit timing is measured from the falling edge of the Start bit.  
Bit transitions should occur within (n - 0.125) ETU and (n + 0.125) ETU of the falling edge of start bit.  
EGT is 0 to 57 uS for PCD transmissions.  
Despite the fact that data transmissions occur LSB first, all of the commands, data, and CRC bytes in ISO/IEC 14443 and  
in this specification are listed in the conventional manner, with MSB on the left and LSB on the right.

O.3 Frame Format  
Data transmitted by the PCD or PICC is sent as frames. The frame consists of the Start Of Frame (SOF), several bytes of  
information, and the End Of Frame (EOF). The SOF and EOF requirements are shown in Figure O-2.

O.4 Reader Data Transmission  
The unmodulated 13.56MHz carrier signal amplitude which is transmitted when the reader is idle is defined as Logical 1,  
while the modulated signal level is defined as Logical 0. A frame transmitted by the reader consists of SOF, several bytes  
of data, a two byte CRC_B, and the EOF.

O.5 Card Data Transmission  
The CryptoRF PICC waits silently for a command from the PCD after being activated by the RF field. After receiving a  
valid command from the PCD, the PICC is allowed to turn on the subcarrier only if it intends to transmit a complete  
response frame. The PICC response consists of TR1, SOF, several bytes of data followed by a two byte CRC_B, and the  
EOF. The subcarrier is turned off no later than two ETUs after the EOF. Figure O-4 shows the PICC frame format.  
When the subcarrier is turned on it remains unmodulated for a time period known as the Synchronization Time (TR1).  
The phase of the subcarrier during TR1 defines a Logical 1 and permits the reader demodulator to lock on to the  
subcarrier signal. The subcarrier remains on until after the EOF transmission is complete. The TR1 transmitted by  
CryptoRF is 10 to 11 ETUs in duration for all responses.

O.6 Response Timing  
After the PICC receives a command from the PCD, it is not permitted to transmit a subcarrier during the Guard Time  
(TR0). The minimum Guard Time is eight ETUs for all command responses. The maximum Guard Time is defined by the  
Frame Waiting Time (FWT), except for the ATQB response (response to REQB or Slot MARKER polling commands),  
which has a maximum TR0 of 32 ETUs.

Response  
The FWT is the maximum time that a PICC requires to begin a response. The PICC transmits a parameter in the ATQB  
response to the polling command that tells the reader the worst case FWT. Typical response times for the CryptoRF are  
listed in Appendix Q See Appendix P for signal timing specifications.  
The PCD is not permitted to modulate the RF field while waiting for a PICC to respond to a command. Modulation of the

O.7 CRC Error Detection  
A two byte CRC_B is required in each frame transmitted by the PICC or PCD to permit transmission error detection. The  
CRC_B is calculated on all of the command and data bytes in the frame. For encrypted data the encryption is performed  
prior to CRC_B calculation. The SOF, EOF, Start bits, Stop bits, and EGT are not included in the CRC_B calculation. The  
two byte CRC_B follows the data bytes in the frame.  
Figure O-6. Location of the Two CRC_B Bytes Within a Frame  
SOF  
K Data Bytes  
CRC1  
CRC2  
EOF  
The CRC_B polynomial is defined in ISO/IEC 14443 and ISO/IEC 13239 as x16 + x12 + x5 + x0. This is a hex polynomial  
of $1021. The initial value of the register used for the CRC_B calculation is all ones ($FFFF). When receiving information  
from the reader, the PICC computes the CRC on the incoming command, data, and CRC bytes. After the last bit has  
been processed the CRC register should contain $0000.  
In the example illustrated in Figure O-6, the CRC_B is calculated on the “K” bytes of data and then appended to the data.  
CRC1 is the least significant byte, and CRC2 is the most significant byte of the CRC_B. If the CRC_B was calculated as  
$5A6B, then CRC1 is $6B and CRC2 is $5A.  
O.8 Type A Tolerance  
The RF Interface is designed for use in multi-protocol applications. It will not latch or lock up if exposed to Type A signals  
and will not respond to them. The PICC may reset in the presence of Type A field modulation, but is not damaged by  
exposure to Type A signals.  
In a typical multi-protocol application the reader will poll for Type B cards and complete all transactions with any Type B  
cards present in the field. The reader will then poll for Type A cards and complete all transactions with them. The reader  
alternates between the two types of modulation and protocols.

Appendix P RF Specifications and Characteristics  
The ISO/IEC 10373-6 Test Methods standard contains the test requirements for characterizing ISO/IEC 14443 devices.  
ISO/IEC 10373-6 utilizes PICCs in the ID-1 credit card size format for all tests. These test methods and the RF signal  
interface requirements of ISO/IEC 14443 contain PICC and PCD performance requirements that are dependent on the  
physical size of the PICC antenna.  
The ISO/IEC 14443 set of standards do not differentiate PCD and PICC requirements that are PICC antenna size  
dependent from those that are not. In this Appendix all of the RF requirements are summarized, and antenna size related  
parameters are identified.  
P.1  
Electrical Characteristics  
ISO/IEC 14443 devices, including the CryptoRF family, have their performance specified in terms of the RF interface of  
the PICC and/or the PCD (Reader). Both components of the RF interface must perform within the specified limits for  
communications to occur. An ISO/IEC 14443 PICC is not expected to operate with PCDs operating outside the  
specifications.

The CryptoRF family has been designed to operate with an ISO/IEC 14443 Type B compliant PCDs meeting the  
requirements listed in Table P-2. CryptoRF has been characterized using PICCs with ID-1 size antennas and ISO/IEC  
14443 Type B compliant readers with appropriately sized PCD antennas. The PCD characteristics in Table P-2 are not

The specifications in Table Q-3 apply to ISO/IEC 14443 PICCs using an ID-1 size antenna only. CryptoRF has been  
characterized using ID-1 antennas and operates within these limits.  
The magnetic field limits of ISO/IEC 14443 are measured using a calibration coil defined in ISO/IEC 10373-6 Section 6.1.  
This calibration coil integrates the field strength over the 3000mm2 area of a typical ID-1 antenna. The Hmin and Hmax  
limits of 1.5A/m rms and 7.5A/m rms define the expected operating volume of a PCD with an ID-1 size PICC. The PCD is  
not allowed to generate a magnetic field strength exceeding 7.5A/m rms. An ID-1 PICC is required to survive continuous  
exposure to a 10A/m rms magnetic field without damage; this non-operating specification guarantees a robust PICC RF  
interface circuit.  
The Load Modulation Amplitude is measured over the full operating magnetic field strength range using an apparatus  
defined in ISO/IEC 10373-6 Section 7.1. This apparatus uses sense coils to detect the signal generated by a PICC  
transmitting a message to the PCD. The sense coils are optimized to detect a signal generated by an ID-1 PICC. The  
ISO/IEC 14443 Load Modulation Amplitude requirements apply to this test apparatus only.

P.4  
Specifications for Other Antenna Sizes  
The specifications in Table Q-3 cannot be applied directly to PICCs with larger or smaller antennas. The characteristics  
in Table P-1 and Table P-2 are applicable to a PICC with any antenna dimensions.  
Load Modulation Amplitude measurements on larger or smaller PICCs would require the design and characterization of a  
new test apparatus. These measurement results would be dependent on the apparatus and cannot be extrapolated from  
the existing ISO/IEC 14443 specifications.  
A reasonable estimate of the operating magnetic field range for a PICC can be made for any PICC antenna size as  
follows: Determine the area of the PICC antenna by measuring the outside dimensions of the loop antenna. The  
magnetic field strength operating range is inversely proportional to the PICC antenna area (use 3000mm2 as the ID-1  
antenna area).  
Note: PCD magnetic field strength must be evaluated with a calibration coil similar in area to the PICC antenna, or the  
measurement result will not be accurate.  
Example 1: Guidelines for operation of a 6000mm2 PICC Antenna. 3000/6000 = 0.5 The minimum operating magnetic  
field (Hmin) is 1.5 x 0.5 = 0.75A/m rms. The maximum operating magnetic field (Hmax) is  
7.5 x 0.5 = 3.75A/m rms. This PICC can be expected to survive exposure to a non-operating magnetic field  
of 10 x 0.5 = 5.0A/m rms.  
Example 2: Guidelines for operation of a 1000 mm2 PICC Antenna. 3000/1000 = 3.0 The minimum Operating Magnetic  
Field (Hmin) is 1.5 x 3.0 = 4.5 A/m rms. The maximum Operating Magnetic Field (Hmax) is 7.5 x 3.0 = 22.5  
A/m rms. This PICC can be expected to survive exposure to a Non-Operating Magnetic Field of 10 x 3.0 =  
30.0 A/m rms.  
Warning:  
Exposure to magnetic field strengths in excess of 30A/m rms may be hazardous to your health.  
P.5  
Modulation Index  
The Modulation Index of the PCD generated magnetic field is measured by placing a calibration coil or wire loop near the  
PCD antenna. Connect this loop to a high impedance oscilloscope probe and measure the amplitude modulation (ASK)  
waveform as shown in Figure P-1. The PCD amplitude Modulation Index is defined in ISO/IEC 14443 part 2 as the  
M.I. = (A - B) / (A + B). For Type B operation the PCD modulation index is required to be between eight percent and  
fourteen percent.  
If the PCD modulation is insufficient then the PICC receiver will not successfully decode the transmissions. Excessive  
modulation reduces the power available to the PICC and may cause it to reset.

P.6  
What is an ID-1 PICC Antenna?  
ISO/IEC 7810 defines the mechanical requirements for plastic identification cards, including smartcards. The nominal  
ID-1 card dimensions are 85.6mm by 53.98mm and 0.76mm thick. There are no antenna dimension requirements in  
ISO/IEC 7810.  
Typical antenna dimensions for ID-1 PICCs are described in ISO/IEC 10373-6 Section 6.3 as a “Reference PICC”  
antenna. The outer dimensions of this reference antenna are 72mm x 42mm with four concentric turns. The antenna  
trace width and spacing are both 0.5mm with a tolerance of +/- 20%. This is a test antenna; the number of turns required  
on a real antenna may be more or less than four turns.  
Additional guidance regarding ID-1 PICC antenna dimensions is provided in Amendment 4 to ISO/IEC 10373-6 in the  
form of a Class 1 PICC antenna definition. A Class 1 PICC has its antenna located entirely within a zone defined by two  
rectangles centered in the ID-1 dimensions. The external rectangle is 81mm by 49mm. The internal rectangle is  
64mm x 34mm, with a 3mm corner radius. All antenna turns must be located between these rectangles.  
Any antenna falling within the Class 1 dimensions is considered an ID-1 antenna for the purpose of this specification.  
P.7  
Other Characteristics Impacting Performance  
The ISO/IEC 14443 standards do not guarantee that any compliant PCD will operate with any compliant PICC. A reliable  
RFID system uses PICCs and PCDs matched to the application, with appropriately sized antennas. Discussion of the  
numerous factors impacting the performance of RFID systems is beyond the scope of this document.

88RF PICCs can be configured to operate in the majority of applications developed for 88SC PICCs. Customers  
migrating from 88SC devices to 88RF devices may be required to change their application software if they are using  
functions identified in this appendix.  
R.1 Error Handling  
When a command packet containing errors is received by an 88SC or 88RF PICC, the status code returned in the NACK  
response is the first error detected by the logic. The status code returned by 88RF PICCs may be different from the  
status code returned by 88SC PICCs.  
R.2 Security Options  
The Access Register (AR) and Device Configuration Register (DCR) definitions for 88RF PICCs are not exactly the same  
as the 88SC PICC definitions. Some RFU bits have been assigned new functionality. The changes which impact  
backward compatibility are summarized here.  
R.2.1 Program Only Mode  
88RF PICCs allows the Program Only Mode in User Zone 1 only. Program Only Mode is not allowed in User Zones 0, 2,  
or 3. The Access Register PGO bit is RFU for registers AR0, AR2, and AR3.  
R.2.2 Write Lock Mode  
88RF PICCs do not support Write Lock Mode. The Access Register WLM bit is RFU.  
R.2.3 Unlimited Checksum Read  
88RF PICCs do not support Unlimited Checksum Reads. The Device Configuration Register UCR bit is RFU.  
R.2.4 Extended Trials Allowed  
The CryptoRF Device Configuration Register ETA bit is RFU. The 88RF PICC attempts limit is always 15; it is no longer  
configurable. [88SC PICCs allowed four or eight attempts.]  
R.2.5 Dual Access Mode  
88RF PICCs do not support Dual Access Mode. The CryptoRF Access Register bits which selected Dual Access Mode  
have been assigned to another communication security mode.  
R.3 Attempt Counters  
Both the Password Attempts Counters (PACs) and Authentication Attempts Counters (AACs) have been redesigned to  
allow 15 failed attempts before the Password or Key is locked. The coding of the PAC and AAC registers has been  
changed to support the increased attempts counts.  
R.4 Checksums  
The requirement to supply a valid checksum when performing a write in Encryption Communication mode and  
Authentication Communication mode is strictly enforced by 88RF PICCs. (88SC PICCs require a valid checksum if the  
Access Register security mode bits for the current User Zone require that Encryption Communication mode or  
Authentication Communication mode be active to write the User Zone. If Authentication or Encryption is not required,  
then 88SC PICCs do not always require that a valid checksum be supplied to perform a write.)

Atmel-5276G-CryptoRF-AT88SC0808CRF-1616CRF-3216CRF-6416CRF-AT88RF04C-Datasheet_012014  
R.5 Personalization  
The 88RF PICC fuse bit functionality has been changed to allow enhanced security during the device personalization  
process. See Appendix F and Appendix G for information.  
Customers that do not program any of the security fuses until the end of the personalization process will not notice a  
difference when personalizing 88RF PICCs. 88RF PICCs act the same as 88SC PICCs when the security fuses are in  
the default state.  
R.5.1 Write System Zone with Anti-Tearing  
88RF PICCs do not support Anti-Tearing writes using the Write System Zone command. Attempts to activate this option  
will result in a NACK response.  
R.5.2 Reserved Memory  
88RF PICCs do not allow writes to registers identified in the Configuration Memory Map as reserved. Any attempts to  
write these registers will be NACKed. Attempts to read the Configuration Memory using a starting address which is a  
reserved byte will be NACKed.  
R.5.3 OTP Memory  
88RF PICCs have 25 bytes of OTP memory available for customer use in the Configuration Memory; 88SC PICCs have  
27 bytes of OTP memory available for customer use. In 88RF PICCs bytes $0E and $0F are the read-only Hardware  
Revision Register (HWR); in 88SC PICCs these bytes are available for customer use.

Appendix T Errata  
T.1  
Lot History Code Register Contents  
The format of the Lot History Code Register at addresses $10 thru $17 of the Configuration Memory has been changed  
to contain a Unique Serial Number for each die. The first 41 bits of the register contain the Unique Serial Number, while  
the other 23 bits contain additional lot history information. Since this is a read-only register, these bits can be used by  
customers to uniquely identify a particular die for anticollision, authentication key diversification, or any other purpose  
required by the application.

Unique Serial Number  
Other Lot Information  
Read Only  
This register format change is effective on all CryptoRF products manufactured in July 2008 or later. Prior to July 2008,  
the contents of the Lot History Code Register are not unique for each die.  
Atmel reserves the right to modify the format of the contents of the UDSN register without notice; however, the UDSN  
register value is guaranteed to be unique for each die. The register name in the Configuration Memory Maps has been  
updated to Unique Die Serial Number in Revision B of this document to reflect this change.  
T.2  
T.3  
Read User Zone command  
As the Read User Zone command reads data from the device's currently selected User Zone the data byte address is  
internally incremented as each byte is read from memory. If the data byte address increments beyond the end of the  
current User Zone during a read, then the address will roll-over to the first byte of the same User Zone.  
Read User Zone command PARAM Codes [88RF]  
The Read User Zone command accepts PARAM = $01, $02, $03 and interprets them as PARAM = $00. The Read User  
Zone command accepts PARAM = $81, $82, $83 and interprets them as PARAM = $80. In both cases, the read  
operation succeeds, when it should NACKed due to an invalid PARAM.  
This error will be fixed in future products. Customers are advised that these PARAM values are not supported.  
T.4  
Status Codes [88RF]  
In the response to each CryptoRF command the PICC returns a Status Code which indicates the state of the device or  
the reason for failure of a requested operation. 88RF PICCs are known to return misleading Status Codes under certain  
circumstances:  
Write User Zone command  
The Write User Zone command returns Status Code $A1 and NACK when L greater than $0F is sent. A Status Code $A3  
is expected. The write operation fails and no data is written.  
Write System Zone command  
The Write System Zone command returns Status Code $B0 and ACK when the integrated checksum option is used in  
the encryption communication mode. A Status Code $00 is expected. The write operation succeeds and the data is  
written to the EEPROM correctly.

Atmel-5276G-CryptoRF-AT88SC0808CRF-1616CRF-3216CRF-6416CRF-AT88RF04C-Datasheet_012014  
The Write System Zone command returns Status Code $C9 and NACK when PARAM = $02 is sent. A Status Code $A1  
is expected. The write operation fails and no data is written.  
The Write System Zone command returns Status Code $00 and NACK when PARAM = $0C and an invalid ADDR is  
sent. A Status Code $A2 is expected. The operation fails and no data is written.  
Customers are advised that past and future products may return Status Codes that are different. The ACK/NACK byte  
reports if a requested operation has passed or failed; the Status code contains additional information.  
T.5  
Encryption Activation Change [88RF]  
One byte value in the Encryption Activation procedure has been changed to allow 88RF PICCs to be used with the  
AT88SC018 CryptoMemory Companion chip. This change may impact customers migrating from 88SC PICCs to 88RF  
PICCs if the Encryption Communication Security mode is used.  
When the host calculates the Authentication Activation Challenge at Step 8. in Appendix K.8, a value of $FF must be  
substituted in the calculation (in place of the actual 88RF PICC AAC value of $55).  
This change is intentional.
