Description
The Atmel® CryptoRF® family integrates a 13.56MHz RF interface into an Atmel CryptoMemory®. This product line is
ideal for RF tags and contactless smart cards that can benefit from advanced security and cryptographic features. This
device is optimized as a contactless secure memory for 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 -3 standards and provides both a proven RF
communication interface and a robust anticollision protocol.
AT88RF04C contains four kilobits of user memory and two kilobits of configuration memory. The two kilobits of
configuration memory contain:
Four sets of read/write passwords
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.

Communications
All personalization and communication with this device is performed through the RF interface. The IC includes an
integrated tuning capacitor, enabling it to operate with only the addition of a single external coil antenna.
The RF communications interface is fully compliant with the electrical signaling and RF power specifications in ISO/IEC
14443-2:2001 for Type B only. Anticollision operation and frame formatting are compliant with ISO/IEC 14443-3:2001 for
Type B only.
ISO/IEC 14443 nomenclature is used in this specification where applicable. The following abbreviations are utilized
throughout this document. Additional terms are defined in the section in which they are used.

Anticollision Protocol
When the PICC enters the 13.56MHz RF field of the host reader (PCD), it performs a Power-On Reset (POR) function
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 CryptoRF command
set is available only after the anticollision process has been completed.
4.
CRC Error Detection
A 2-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. The SOF, EOF, start bits, stop bits, and EGT
are not included in the CRC_B calculation. The 2-byte CRC_B follows the data bytes in the frame.

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.

User Memory
The EEPROM user memory is divided into four user zones as shown in Table 6-1. Multiple zones allow for different types
of data or files to be stored in different zones. Access to the user zones is allowed only after security requirements have
been met. These security requirements are defined by the user in the configuration memory during personalization of the
device. The EEPROM memory page length is 16 bytes.

Configuration Memory
The configuration memory consists of 2048 bits of EEPROM memory used for storing system data, passwords, keys,
codes, and security-level definitions for each user zone. Access rights to the configuration zone are defined in the control
logic and may not be altered by the user. These access rights include the ability to program certain portions of the
configuration memory and then lock the data written through use of the security fuses.
8.
Security Fuses
There are three fuses on the device that must be blown during the device personalization process. Each fuse locks
certain portions of the configuration memory as OTP memory. Fuses are designated for locking the secrets and the user
zone access requirements. The fuses must be blown in sequence.

Communication Security
Communication between the PICC and reader operates in three basic modes:
Standard Communication Security Mode — The default mode for the device after power-up and anticollision.
Authentication Communication Security Mode — Activated by a successful authentication sequence.
Encryption Communication Security Mode — Activated by a successful encryption activation sequence,
following a successful authentication.

Memory Access
Depending on the device configuration, the host will carry out the authentication protocol and/or present different
passwords for each operation: Read or Write. To insure security between the different user zones, each zone can use a
different set of passwords or keys. A specific attempts counter for each password and for each authentication key
provides protection against systematic attacks.

Security Operations
12.1
Anti-tearing
In the event of a power loss during a write cycle, the integrity of the device’s stored data may be recovered. This function
is optional — The host may choose to activate the anti-tearing function depending on application requirements.
When anti-tearing is active, write commands take longer to execute since more write cycles are required to
complete them.
Data writes are limited to 8-byte pages when anti-tearing is active.
Data is written first to a buffer zone in EEPROM instead of to the intended destination address, but with the same access
conditions. The data is then written to the required location. If this second write cycle is interrupted due to a power loss,
the device will automatically recover the data from the buffer zone at the next power-up.
12.2
Password Verification
Passwords may be used to protect user zone read and/or write access. When a password is presented using the Check
Password command, it is memorized and active until power is removed unless a new password is presented or a valid
DESELECT or IDLE command is received. Only one password is active at a time, but write passwords also give read
access.
12.3
Authentication Protocol
The access to a user zone may be protected by an authentication protocol in addition to password dependent rights.
Passwords are encrypted in Authentication Communication Security mode. The authentication success is memorized
and active as long as the chip is powered, unless a new authentication is initialized or a valid DESELECT or IDLE
command is received. If the new authentication request is not validated, the card loses its previous authentication and it
must be presented again. Only the last request is memorized.
12.4
Encryption
The data exchanged between the card and the reader during Read, Write, and Check Password commands may be
encrypted to ensure data confidentiality.
The issuer may choose to protect the access to a user zone with an encryption key by settings made in the configuration
memory. In that case, activation of the Encryption Communication Security mode is required in order to read/write data in
the zone.
The encryption activation success is memorized and active as long as the chip is powered, unless a new initialization is
initiated or a valid DESELECT or IDLE command is received. If the new encryption activation request is not validated, the
card will no longer encrypt data during read operations nor will it decrypt data received during write or Check Password
operations.
12.5
Checksum
The PICC implements a data validity check function in the form of a checksum. The checksum may function in standard
or cryptographic mode. In the standard mode, the checksum is optional and may be used for transmission error
detection. The cryptographic mode is more powerful since it provides data origin authentication capability in the form of a
Message Authentication Code (MAC). To write data to the device, the host is required to compute a valid MAC and
provide it to the device. If after an in going command the device computes a MAC different from the MAC transmitted by
the host, not only is the command abandoned but the cryptographic mode is also reset. A new authentication is required
to reactivate the cryptographic mode.

Initial Device Programming
CryptoRF is delivered with all security features disabled. To program the polling response or enable the security features
of CryptoRF the device must be personalized by programming several registers. This is accomplished by programming
the configuration memory using simple write and read commands. AT88RF04C supports an optional Secure
Personalization mode which encrypts the secrets during programming.
12.7
Transport Password
To gain access to the configuration memory, a transport password known as the secure code must be presented using
the Check Password command. The transport password for AT88RF04C is $30 1D D2.
