# Mifare

AID of PICC is `00 00 00`. And then `key#0` is the **masterkey**. There is a *masterkey* for PICC and another *masterkey* for an application.

In Wikipedia, the DES keying options are termed as:

* keying option 1 or **3TDEA** when `k1 != k2 != k3` this is the strongest
* keying option 2 or **2TDEA** when `k1 != k2` but `k3 = k1`
* keying option 3 where `k1 = k2 = k3` 

In Mifare, wither **DES** or **3DES**, these keys is 16 bytes in length. The difference is that in **DES** the first half is mirror copy of 2nd half. These are *Keying options* in DES terminology.
