• AuthenticateEV2 - helper for performing AuthenticateEV2First handshake with PICC:
  • init - generate the initial C-APDU to start authentication;
  • part1 - generate a response to first R-APDU from PICC;
  • part2 - verify second R-APDU from PICC, initialize authenticated session;
• CryptoComm - a class which represents "authenticated session":
  • wrap_cmd - construct C-APDU in given CommMode, convenience wrapper;
  • unwrap_res - parse R-APDU in given CommMode, convenience wrapper;
  • sign_apdu - convert CommMode.PLAIN C-APDU into CommMode.MAC;
  • encrypt_apdu - convert CommMode.PLAIN C-APDU into CommMode.FULL;
  • parse_response - parse R-APDU and verify it's MAC signature (CommMode.MAC response);
  • decrypt_response - decrypt the response data parsed by validate_response (CommMode.FULL response);

LRICB Encryption (LRICBEnc) and decryption (LRICBDec):

from lrp import LRP

import binascii

# the original key
key = binascii.unhexlify("E0C4935FF0C254CD2CEF8FDDC32460CF")
# plaintext data to encrypt
pt = binascii.unhexlify("012D7F1653CAF6503C6AB0C1010E8CB0")
# also sometimes called "counter"
iv = binascii.unhexlify("C3315DBF")

# encrypt plaintext
lrp = LRP(key, 0, iv, pad=True)
ct = lrp.encrypt(pt)

# decrypt the stuff back
lrp = LRP(key, 0, iv, pad=True)
pt = lrp.decrypt(ct)

MACing (LRP-CMAC/CMAC_LRP):

from lrp import LRP

import binascii

key = binascii.unhexlify("8195088CE6C393708EBBE6C7914ECB0B")
lrp = LRP(key, 0)
mac = lrp.cmac(binascii.unhexlify("BBD5B85772C7"))

Decrypt SDM PICCData and validate CMAC:

See test_lrp_sdm.py for an example.

Standalone program:

From Python:

import binascii

from validate_ecc import validate_tag

uid = binascii.unhexlify("04518DFAA96180")
sig = binascii.unhexlify("D1940D17CFEDA4BFF80359AB975F9F6514313E8F90C1D3CAAF5941AD744A1CDF9A83F883CAFE0FE95D1939B1B7E47113993324473B785D21")

print(validate_tag(uid, sig))
