What happens when the maximum number of allowed authentication attempts is reached?

[psvz]

From Documentation

SE050 APDU Spec:
3.2.1.9 UserID
... By default, the maximum number of allowed authentication attempts is set to 255.

and APIs such as

smStatus_t Se05x_API_WriteUserID(pSe05xSession_t session_ctx,
    pSe05xPolicy_t policy,
    SE05x_MaxAttemps_t maxAttempt,...

So, what exactly will happen on my SE051H if I set number of max attempts to, say, 5 and then exceed it? Does it count unsuccessful attempts only or *all* attempts?

Hi @psvz ,

Yes, it counts unsuccessful authentication attempts.  Please kindly refer to the following for details.

Have a great day,
