hi fellas - I am finally able to dedicated some quality time in developing a new iOS app called, “ChipVault” that will help you manage your personal collection of NXP DESFire EV1/2/3 cards with full NXP native AES security capabilities at PICC Master and App/files level.
I will share more details once my V1 is complete and published. The goal for ChipVault is for a natively chipset secure one-stop-app to manage your cards (or implements) in an intuitive manner.
if anyone’s interested or have questions that I can help address, please reply here to this thread.
no plans yet. perhaps for phase 2 post iOS release. ton of work is going into this as I type. Therefore want to focus on one platform first and do the best job that I can.
if you use any EV2/EV3 cards now to store information, critical data, this app will be for you. The app is about empowering us the end-users to manage NXP DESFIre EV2/3 cards for data storage/management, in a chipset native secured manner. Fully natively AES encrypted and secured by user’s master password.
Traditional NXP card tools fall short of security capabilities when working these cards, ChipVault will solve to that as a first class citizen. Secure First !
The app is not about managing or deploying Apps on these cards. The scope is data storage management, Card management - all securely.
just to be technically clear as it relates to Key vs Password. User’s Master Password is what’s ring fenced in iOS behind keychain and Face ID gated. The encrypted KEY NEVER is saved anywhere. This is the #1 design decision for Security First and Default approach.
- in iOS secured keychain gated by FaceID
