FeliCa

The PN544 chip is also able to emulate FeliCa even if it's not (yet) accessible from Android API but this means if an external FeliCa reader is polling the phone it can get something like FeliCa target:

  • Random ID (NFCID2): 01 fe nn nn nn nn nn nn
  • Parameter (PAD): c0 c1 c2 c3 c4 c5 c6 c7
  • System Code (SC): 0f ab

Delay

On a Nexus S locked at 1000MHz and idle, a delay of about 30ms is still measured. It goes to 60ms if CPU is busy or occasionally even higher under "on demand" CPU scheduler.

Installation

Software CE is not possible yet on stock Android but patches have been made for CyanogenMod and they are integrated in the official release since v10.1.

So, easiest is to install cyanogenmod 10.1 (or more recent if available), see instructions

Example of PKI smartcard

This example is taken from this very interesting post and its source code, adapted for CyanogenMod 10.1 and compiled under Linux in command line.
It's a small example emulating a card able to do a PIN verify then a signature, a bit like some eIDs.

Compile application

Following instructions how to compile Android app in command line 

git clone https://github.com/nelenkov/virtual-pki-card
cd virtual-pki-card/se-emulator
JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-1.6.0.26/
ANDROID_HOME=/your_path_to/android-sdk-linux_x86/
PACKAGE=org.nick.se.emulator
PACKAGE_SLASH=${PACKAGE//.//}
DEV_HOME=$(pwd)
TARGET=android-17
mkdir -p $DEV_HOME/obj
mkdir -p $DEV_HOME/bin
mkdir -p $DEV_HOME/lib

Create dummy keystore 

$JAVA_HOME/bin/keytool -genkeypair \
                -validity 10000 \
                -dname "CN=company name,
                        OU=organisational unit,
                        O=organisation,
                        L=location,
                        S=state,
                        C=country code" \
                -keystore $DEV_HOME/AndroidTest.keystore \
                -storepass password \
                -keypass password \
                -alias AndroidTestKey \
                -keyalg RSA \
                -v

Create R.java 

$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools/aapt package -v -f -m \
    -S $DEV_HOME/res -J $DEV_HOME/src -M $DEV_HOME/AndroidManifest.xml \
    -I $ANDROID_HOME/platforms/$TARGET/android.jar || exit 1

Compile Java 

$JAVA_HOME/bin/javac -verbose -d $DEV_HOME/obj \
    -classpath "$ANDROID_HOME/platforms/$TARGET/android.jar:$DEV_HOME/obj" \
    -sourcepath $DEV_HOME/src \
    $DEV_HOME/src/$PACKAGE_SLASH/*.java || exit 1

Create DEX 

$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools/dx --dex --verbose \
    --output=$DEV_HOME/bin/classes.dex \
    $DEV_HOME/obj $DEV_HOME/lib || exit 1

Create APK 

$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools/aapt package -v -f \
    -S $DEV_HOME/res -M $DEV_HOME/AndroidManifest.xml \
    -I $ANDROID_HOME/platforms/$TARGET/android.jar \
    -F $DEV_HOME/bin/AndroidTest.unsigned.apk \
    $DEV_HOME/bin || exit 1

Sign APK 

$JAVA_HOME/bin/jarsigner -verbose \
    -keystore $DEV_HOME/AndroidTest.keystore \
    -storepass password \
    -keypass password \
    -signedjar $DEV_HOME/bin/AndroidTest.signed.apk \
    $DEV_HOME/bin/AndroidTest.unsigned.apk \
    AndroidTestKey || exit 1

Zip-align APK 

$ANDROID_HOME/tools/zipalign -v -f 4 \
    $DEV_HOME/bin/AndroidTest.signed.apk \
    $DEV_HOME/bin/AndroidTest.apk || exit 1

Install application

sudo adb install $DEV_HOME/bin/AndroidTest.apk

Create certificate

As this example is using a certificate to sign data, we need to create it. 

cd virtual-pki-card
mkdir cert
cd cert

Create a template mykey.conf: 

[ req ]
default_bits           = 1024
distinguished_name     = req_distinguished_name
prompt                 = no
output_password        = 1234

[ req_distinguished_name ]
C                      = BE
ST                     = MyCity
O                      = MyOrg

Create certificate: 

openssl req -new -x509 -keyout mykey.pem -out mycert.pem -config mykey.conf
openssl pkcs12 -export -in mycert.pem -inkey mykey.pem -passin pass:1234 -passout pass: > mykey.pfx

Install it: 

sudo adb push mykey.pfx /sdcard/
cp mycert.pem ../se-pki-client/

On the phone:
Run application "PKI Applet Emulator"

  • Install PKCS#12
    • no passwd
    • if needed create a lock PIN on the phone (to be able to store certs)
    • choose cert: select this one, ok
  • Set PIN=1234

If reading cert fails, check in CyanogenMod developer options that "Protect USB storage" is not activated.
Storing certs require that you defined a screen lock PIN too, do it if needed.

Reader application

Compile: 

cd se-pki-client
javac src/org/nick/sepkiclient/Main.java

Execute: 

java -cp src org.nick.sepkiclient.Main 1234 mycert.pem

Place phone/card on reader to start

Got signature from card: 7C19AAE869DD6C2A9C4AAB98E65FEFDF88C0764EDDAD1BE660BBA220237BA7F4D46B08080E925737D7D ...
Will use certificate from 'mycert.pem' to verify signature

	Not Before: Thu Sep 05 11:46:55 CEST 2013
	Not After: Sat Oct 05 11:46:55 CEST 2013

Signature is valid: true

Performances

Measured on a Nexus S, stats over 20 runs:

With CPU locked at 1000MHz (CPU sceduler = performance) and idle

  • Resp to SelectApp: 32ms (std. dev. 11%)
  • Resp to VerifyPIN(*): 296ms (std. dev. 3%)
  • Resp to GetSign(**): 67ms (std.dev. 18%)

With CPU locked at 1000MHz (CPU sceduler = performance) and busy with infinite loop

  • Resp to SelectApp: 63ms (std. dev. 15%)
  • Resp to VerifyPIN(*): 600ms (std. dev. 4%)
  • Resp to GetSign(**): 100ms (std.dev. 20%)

(*) : the phone does a PBKDF2 on the PIN : 5000 x SHA1 hashes
(**) : the phone does a 1024-bit RSA signature

TypeB

If you want to emulate a TypeB card rather than a TypeA card, simply edit the app sources virtual-pki-card/se-emulator and replace all occurrences of PCDA into PCDB and PcdA into PcdB. 

$ grep -i -n -r pcda .
./src/org/nick/se/emulator/MainActivity.java:40:    private static final String TECH_ISO_PCDA = "android.nfc.tech.IsoPcdA";
./src/org/nick/se/emulator/MainActivity.java:92:        techLists = new String[][] { { "android.nfc.tech.IsoPcdA" } };
./src/org/nick/se/emulator/MainActivity.java:174:            if (!techList.contains(TECH_ISO_PCDA)) {
./src/org/nick/se/emulator/MainActivity.java:175:                Log.e(TAG, "IsoPcdA not found in tech list");
./src/org/nick/se/emulator/MainActivity.java:179:            TagWrapper tw = new TagWrapper(tag, TECH_ISO_PCDA);
./res/xml/filter_nfc.xml:4:                             <tech>android.nfc.tech.IsoPcdA</tech>

Example using Lateral Security tools

cf their NFCCAPTURE

Examples of MitM

Of course once you can emulate a card you can also mount a MitM attack on ISO14443-4 cards:

Since Android 4.4

See official description
