We have been integrating OMNIKEY desktop readers and embedded chip sets since 1999. 

We have worked on many projects that require NXP Mifare product expertise. This includes anything from Mifare Classic to Mifare DESFire EV1 or EV2. 

CardWerk is deeply familiar with these card products and underlying card specifications on card edge level.

With its extensive PKI, MULTOS is ideal for deployments that require a rock-solid, certificate based application life cycle.
