Cannot calcualte the master key

I successfully ran a reader attack

Am i missing a something or what is the best way to diagnose the reason it fails?

Re: Cannot calcualte the master key

The most likely explanation for your problem is that you are attempting to retrieve the high security authentication key from an iCLASS SE reader.
The loclass function does not work with the newer "iClass SE" readers unless they explicitly support the use of legacy credentials.

If you look at the diversified key algorithms in the HID charts below you will see that there are various hashing algorithms involved when calculating the diversified key used in the authentication process. It is theorized that HID has modified one or more of these hashing algorithms for iClass SE. Until more details are uncovered, the loclass function can only be used reliably with readers that support legacy credentials.

iClass High Security Algorithm

iClass Standard Security Algorithm
