NFC TagInfo by NXP

Are you curious about the technology behind the contactless cards in your possession? Do you want to delve deeper and discover the NFC-enabled items that you and your friends have? Look no further, because TagInfo has the answers you seek. TagInfo is an application developed by NXP Semiconductors that utilizes Near Field Communication technology. As one of the co-inventors of NFC, NXP Semiconductors not only caters to professionals, but also aims to provide utilities and apps for the general public. Their goal is to help users explore the NFC features of their devices and fully enjoy the technology. The main features of TagInfo include a value checker for selected public transport systems, identification of applications on cards and tags, and extraction and analysis of NFC data sets. It also allows users to read and display the complete memory layout of a tag, supports all NFC Forum record types, and provides details about contactless cards, tags, and NFC-enabled items in general. Additionally, it helps mobile developers detect configuration errors on contactless cards and offers an easy and cost-effective analysis of these cards. With a wide range of UI and application configurations, users can also create and share analysis reports. TagInfo allows users to browse the content of public transport and payment cards that are based on NFC-compatible contactless technology. Some of the supported applications include CLIPPER, Kiev Metro, ORCA, and Oyster. NXP Semiconductors is continuously working to enable more card schemes as application owners and system providers provide information on how to access the content on their contactless cards. Aside from its use as a value checker, TagInfo can also identify electronic identity documents and various contactless payment cards such as ExpressPay, PayPass, payWave, and Zip. However, due to security mechanisms, the application does not provide access to the actual data contained in these cards. In addition to its consumer-focused functions, TagInfo also provides detailed information about contactless cards, tags, and NFC-enabled items. This includes the IC manufacturer, IC type, card operating system, NFC data sets, IC memory size and configuration, and supported technologies and standards. The application also supports the full content browsing and analysis of all four NFC Forum Tag Types, as well as MIFARE, NTAG, and ICODE based systems. With its comprehensive coverage and user-friendly interface, TagInfo turns an NFC-enabled device into a powerful handheld analyzer for both hobbyists and professionals. It allows users to explore the capabilities of NFC-enabled items and identify any configuration or data formatting issues. So if you're interested in learning more about the technology behind contactless cards and NFC-enabled items, give TagInfo a try.
