Hi Community,
We are currently developing an NFC reader for our access control system that needs to read NFC passes stored in Google Wallet and Apple Wallet. The system should:
- Read emulated NFC tags from both Android and iOS devices
- Extract the NDEF payload from these wallet passes
- Convert the payload to Wiegand format (can be done externally if the NFC reader doesn't come with an MCU on-board)
- Send the Wiegand data to our relay board for access verification
I'm looking for NFC reader hardware and development boards that can support this functionality, specifically the ability to read Apple VAS and Google SmartTap protocols. Most standard NFC readers don't seem to support these proprietary wallet protocols.
Has anyone worked on a similar project or can suggest compatible hardware or development strategies? Any insights on obtaining necessary certifications or implementing these protocols would be greatly appreciated.
PS: I have looked at a few posts like this, and this, and this, and similar and could understand that Apple's ECP and VAS are supported (but would you have any examples for Access Control Application ??), but need to know if Google Wallet and Google SmartTap are supported or not.
Thanks,
Yash
