1 General Description

SLE 55Rxx-family of contactless memory chips focuses on high security and flexible memory and sector configuration. This family of memory chips supplies the user with different memory sizes meeting the requirements of variable applications. SLE 55R16 complies to ISO/IEC 14443 part 2 and part 3 Type-A (modulation ASK 100%) for contactless proximity smart cards. The power supply and data are transferred to SLE 55R16 via an antenna. SLE 55R16 is designed to communicate with a contactless card reader up to a typical operating distance of 10 cm. Key Area up to 14 Key Pairs Legend Blocks marked by cross hatch - Defined by chip manufacturer Administration Area Control of Memory Access User Area 1 up to 15 Sectors Service Area Configurable Sector Size up to 256 Pages Unique Serial Number Figure 3 Memory principle of SLE 55R16

1.1 Circuit Description

SLE 55R16 consists of a EEPROM memory unit, an analog interface for contactless energy and data transmission, a control and a crypto unit. Power Power Circuit Rectifier Clock Extractor Power on Reset Voltage Regulator Data Memory AccessIO Command Authentication Control Unit Analog Contactless Interface Operational Mode Crypto Unit Memory Unit Serial Parallel Converter LB LA Antenna Anticollision Clock Figure 4 Block diagram of SLE 55R16

  • Analog Contactless Interface consists of: – Rectifier – Voltage Regulator – Power on Reset – Modulator / Demodulator – Clock Extractor
  • Operational mode The access to the memory depends on the actual mode of SLE 55R16; the memory is accessed according to plain or protected mode when the PICC is selected.
  • Crypto Unit Generates random numbers, checks and calculates message authentication code (MAC).
  • Memory Unit 2560 bytes organised in 256 pages with 8 + 2 bytes each.
  • Control Unit — Decoding and execution of the commands — Bit oriented anticollision method with 4 or 7 byte long serial numbers (complying to ISO/IEC 14443-3 − cascade level 1 and 2 are supported). It allows the recognition of several cards in the field which may be selected and operated in sequence. — Access to key-protected sectors is only permitted after authentication with an appropriate key. Only one sector is opened within a session. One sector is optionally configurable without key protection and authentication. — Memory access to the pages according to the individual access conditions programmed for every page and every key

1.2 System Overview

The system consists of a contactless card on one hand and a contactless card reader together with an antenna on the other. Operations on protected areas of SLE 55R16 requires a security access module at the reader or system side to perform a high system security. The security access module (SAM) holds the algorithm for the fast and secure calculation of the authentication and the integrity check of the transferred and received data.

Short Product Information 8 / 8 2001-01-31 Contactless Energy and Data Transfer The operating distance between card and reader antenna is typically up to 10 cm. The card antenna consists of a simple coil with a few turns embedded in plastic. Contactless cards are passive. The high speed RF communication interface allows to exchange data with 106 kbit/s. This high data transmission rate permits short transaction times. An intelligent anticollision function allows to operate more than one card in the field simultaneously. The anticollision algorithm selects each card individually and ensures that the execution of a transaction with a selected card is performed correctly without data corruption resulting from other cards. Multi-Application Functionality SLE 55R16 provides the possibility to use one large sector or several smaller ones with different sizes. Optionally, one sector can be opened without authentication to read e.g. additional card and issuer information. Thus, SLE 55R16 meets the need of low cost memory applications like public transport as well as the more extensive needs of payment systems, which is also supported by the counter function. Two different key sets for each memory sector support systems using key hierarchies. High System Security In the system design, special emphasis has been placed on security against fraud. The serial number is unique for each card and can not be changed. Access to the protected memory of the card is only possible after a mutual authentication (challenge/response) which is a function of the unique serial number, random number and key to be used. Authentication is only possible with a security access module, SAM, that holds the algorithm. Therefore, for all operations on the protected memory, the SAM calculates and checks by a message authentication code (MAC) the integrity of the transferred data. Thus, operations on the protected memory are key protected, and restricted by page-configurable access conditions.
