Features

--------

* Compatibile with USB-based NFC readers via PCSC interface. PCSC API is available on Linux, OSX and Windows. Linux support includes support for Raspberry Pi.

* Compatibile with Android mobile phones and their built-in NFC readers. This is done using `Kivy `_ cross application Python framework and native Android APIs via `pyjnius `_ Python to Java bridging.

* Only some of the commands are implemented in the current alpha quality version, please feel free to add more.

* Compatible with Python 2 and Python 3

* Currently supports only PLAIN DESFire communication mode (`see this error 6E 00 `_)

Background

----------

`The communication protocol specification is not public `_. The work is based on reverse engineering existing open source DESFire projects, namely `Android host card emulation for DESFire `_ and `MIFARE SDK `_.
