+  Configure and Lock your ATECCX08 SecureElement
+
+  This sketch can be used to apply default configuration and lock
+  yout ATECCX08 Secure Element.
+  Default configuration can be found here:
+  https://github.com/arduino-libraries/ArduinoECCX08/blob/master/src/utility/ECCX08DefaultTLSConfig.h
+
+  SE050 do not have EEPROM configuration and do not need to be locked
+  to work correctly. secureElement.locked() always return true for SE050
+  and the sketch does nothing.
+
+  The circuit:
+  - A board equipped with ECC508 or ECC608 or SE050 chip
+
+  This example code is in the public domain.
