Hi Tomek,

Check the implementation of resync() in your implementation of
simaka_card_t (and whatever it actually calls/does) for details on this.
 That it initially fails could be due to how the SQNs are generated.

Initially probably not if the SQNs are generated differently.  But after
the client sent its SQN and the server used that (+1) the client should
be happy with it.  If not, something might be wrong (e.g. incorrect
secrets).

You have to check the client implementation for what it considers
invalid.  In particular after it sent the SQN and then still does not
like what it gets back.

Tobias
