ETSI EN 303 645 Provision 5.1-5: Brute-force attacks over network interfaces made impracticable

The device has a mechanism that makes brute-force attacks against its authentication over network interfaces impractical to succeed, for example capping attempts within a period with growing delays, or locking or slowing down after repeated failures, while avoiding resource exhaustion and denial of service. It applies unless the use case imposes a resource limit that rules the mechanism out. Status in Table B.1: M C F (14, e) (mandatory, a shall provision; conditional on no resource limit arising from the use case ruling out an anti brute-force mechanism; applies only where authentication can take place over network interfaces).
