pin block

Le PIN (personnal identification number) est le code proprement dit.
Le PIN block (terme générique à ne pas traduire) est un système de chiffrement 64 bit afin de pouvoir crypter et transmettre ce code de facon sécurisée.

blocage PIN

J'ai traduit 'block' par un terme facile à reconnaître.

disagree Daryo : "block of data" NOT blocking the PIN after 3 errors

donc 'blocage des données / par PIN'. En tout cas l'anglais risque la même ambiguïté.
