Access Control
Access Control is a system which enables an authority to control access to areas and resources in a given physical facility or computer-based information system. An access control system, within the field of physical security, is generally seen as the second layer in the security of a physical structure. Access control is a means of controlling the entry to any building or vulnerable area by giving authorised people easy access, but excluding those who lack authorisation. It is an important feature not only in the fight against crime, but also in the need for greater security and protection in the working environment, particularly in relation to theft, vandalism and industrial espionage.
Access Control is, in reality, and everyday phenomenon. A lock on a car door is essentially a form of access control. A PIN on an ATM system at a bank is another means of access control. The possession of access control is of prime importance when persons seek to secure important, confidential, or sensitive information and equipment.
There are three types (factors) of authenticating information:
- Something the user knows, usually password or any pass phrase
- Something the user has, such as a smart card
- Something the user is, such as a fingerprint, verified by biometric measurement
