The MIFARE protocol appends a parity bit to every byte transmitted. Due to a flaw in the Crypto1 filter function, these parity bits are generated using the internal state of the cipher before the keystream is applied, leaking critical information about the internal key state. mifare classic card recovery tool

During the authentication handshake, the card sends encrypted data along with parity bits. Due to a mathematical flaw in how the CRYPTO1 cipher handles parity checks, the parity bits leak information about the internal state of the cipher (the keystream). By capturing roughly 40,000-50,000 authentication attempts, an attacker can statistically derive the key for that sector. [2] Garcia, F
