SIC43S1

NFC Forum Type 2 Tag IC with AES-128 encryption
for Mutual Authentication

NFC Forum Type 2 tag with AES-128
The SIC43S1 is an NFC Forum Type 2 tag configured to be compatible with the dynamic NDEF format. It is also equipped with AES-128 (Advanced Encryption Standard), which provides secure authentication and data encryption for high-security purposes.

The tag has 3 distinct security features based on AES128 cryptography.

• NDEF Authentication

• Mutual Authentication

• Encrypted Communication
