+"""Hitag2 (NXP PCF7936/46/47/52) — software-sim transponder + reader driver.
+
+Models the real Hitag2 memory (8 x 32-bit pages) and both authentication modes using the
+validated cipher in :mod:`hitag2_crypto`:
+
+- **UID request** — the reader's 5-bit START_AUTH; the tag answers with its serial (page 0).
+- **Password mode** — the reader presents the 32-bit RWD password (page 1); the tag answers
+  with its configuration page (page 3).
+- **Crypto mode** — the reader sends a 64-bit ``nR || aR`` challenge; the tag reruns the
+  cipher, verifies aR, and thereafter encrypts the link (transcrypt).
+
+The authentication is bit-faithful to real tags (START_AUTH length, nR/aR, the aR check and
+the transcrypt convention all match the Proxmark firmware). Post-auth read/write *command*
+framing is a self-consistent software protocol between :class:`Hitag2Tag` and
+:class:`Hitag2Reader` (page data responses are transcrypted exactly like the real link).
