Systems and methods for resetting an authentication counter

A method for authentication counter resynchronization, comprising:

• determining, by one or more processors, one or more reset events;
• transmitting, by the one or more processors to a transmitting device, a first authentication counter value, wherein the transmission is responsive to the one or more reset events and based on one or more prioritization factors;
• replacing, by the one or more processors responsive to a communication connection between the contactless card and a client device, a second authentication counter value stored by the transmitting device with the first authentication counter value;
• and
• triggering, by the one or more processors in response to the one or more reset events, one or more corrective actions.

An authentication counter resynchronization system, comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory in data communication with the one or more processors and containing executable instructions,
• wherein, upon execution by the one or more processors, the executable instructions cause the one or more processors to:
• determine one or more reset events;
• transmit, to a transmitting device, a first authentication counter value, wherein the transmission is responsive to the one or more reset events and based on one or more prioritization factors;
• replace, responsive to a communication connection between the contactless card and a client device, a second authentication counter value stored by the transmitting device with the first authentication counter value;
• and
• trigger, in response to the one or more reset events, one or more corrective actions.

A non-transitory computer accessible medium containing executable instructions that, when executed by a computer hardware arrangement, cause the computer hardware arrangement to perform procedures comprising:

• determining one or more reset events;
• transmitting, to a transmitting device, a first authentication counter value, wherein the transmission is responsive to the one or more reset events and based on one or more prioritization factors;
• replacing, responsive to a communication connection between the contactless card and a client device, a second authentication counter value stored by the transmitting device with the first authentication counter value;
• and
• triggering, in response to the one or more reset events, one or more corrective actions.
