Mifare desire coping

Hi I’m a newbie, is it possible to copy a Mifare desire key fob? I tried using a xixei x7 and it kinda reads it but says it has encrypted sectors, is there any way to read the encryption and clone it?

I could clone it with the x7, just not the encryption part:(
When I try it on the lock, it only beeps, won’t unlock.

The desfire chip uses standard encryption algorithms that have no known attacks at this time. It’s not possible.

I see, guess you can’t clone it:( just need a reader that can read/write the encrypted sectors.

Any CCID reader should be able to… the acr1252u would work fine with the appropriate software. You’ll also need the keys to be able to read your source card. If you just want to experiment with desfire then you can set your own keys.

Also, when I read the mifare desire fob , it has a sak 20, the fob I want to clone it to has a sak 8, does that make a difference? Could the proxmark3 read it?

What you could consider is some custom work
or
conversion
