What constitutes mis authentication?

What constitutes mis authentication?

• A. Custodian enters invalid code once
• B. Custodian uses a master code
• C. Alarm Custodian passes the incorrect response code twice
• D. System time is incorrect

Answer: (C)

Misauthentication happens when an access attempt involves more than one consecutive wrong response code, signaling a repeated failed entry and often triggering an alert or lockout. The situation of entering an invalid code just once is only a single failed attempt, not the defined misauthentication event. Using a master code would be an authorized override, not misauthentication, although it might be restricted or logged. An incorrect system time is a clock issue, not an authentication attempt.
