The communication protocol specification is not public <http://stackoverflow.com/a/24069446/315168>. The work is based on reverse engineering existing open source DESFire projects, namely Android host card emulation for DESFire <https://github.com/jekkos/android-hce-desfire> and MIFARE SDK <https://www.mifare.net/en/products/tools/mifare-sdk/>_.
