5. Personalization
In order to profit from the full functionality of the HITAG VEGAS data carrier, the read/write
device has to support the data carrier´s cryptographic feature.
This requires the use of some secret data (keys, logdata). The process of loading these data into
the HITAG VEGAS read/write device is called personalization. The analogous
personalization procedure has to be carried out on your data carrier. The read/write device and
the data carriers are prepersonalized by Philips by means of defined Transport Keys and
Transport Logdata. Therefore you can use the HITAG VEGAS read/write device without
changing any data. Because of security considerations we recommend to use own keys and
logdata. So only persons who got the authorization from you are able to access the secret area of
the data carrier. To use own keys and logdata you have to personalize read/write device and data
carrier. This process is described in the following chapters.
Make sure you are in safe environment while writing these secret data to the data carrier or the
HITAG VEGAS read/write device. This prevents possible listening into the communication
between HOST and read/write device.
