Get unique NFC tag ID from NXP NFP provider

Hello.

We need to read unique NFC tag ID by using built-in (on Windows 10 tablet PCs) NXP NFC reader, under Windows 10. Unfortunately, Microsoft don't implemented tags UID support in the Windows.Networking.Proximity namespace (but it's a loooong waiting feature request, since year 2014!).

However, if I can read that tag from regular Win32 app, it will be (at least) a good workaround for us.

NXP NearFieldProximity provider driver on our Windows 10 tablet PCs is listed as \\?\acpi#nxp5442#1#{fb3842cd-9e2a-4f83-8fcc-4b0761139ae9}, and uses following files:

  • NxpNfpProvider.dll  v 6.5.11.0
  • libpn544_NGfw.dll   v 2.10.0.0
  • NxpNfcRM.dll  v 1.0.0.1

So, my questions are:

  • can I use NFC Reader Library for this purpose, and what version I should download and try?
  • is there a way to get NFC tag UID via Win32/64 native code? Code examples will be very appreciated!

This issue is a "showstopper" for us now: without knowing NFC tag UID, we can't prevent tags cloning :smileysad:

I have the same task

in DeviceManager the it shows the NXP dirver dlls:

NxpNfpProvider.dll 

FwlibNpc_3x.dll

WUDFRd.sys

Is it possible to get some information/description on the driver dlls, so it would be possible to use it?
