Remote Access Policy Is A Normal Thing
Remote Access Policy
1. Overview
In today's advanced world of technologies remote work arrangement is a normal thing. It is an
important step of creating flexible work force. But there are certain risks associated with remote
access such as unauthorized access, leakage of confidential information. So to minimize these
potential risks a secure policy is required. Remote access policy tries to minimize the risks
associated with remote networks by defining the system requirement for remote users before they
are allowed to connect to the organization's network. Remote access policy defines standards for
connecting to organizational network and security standards for computers that are allowed to
connect to organizational network.

Biometric access control systems are so far the best type of access control we have today. The
reasoning for this is because it relies on identifying unique human characteristics such as
fingerprints, retinas, hands, etc. Since these characteristics are unique to each person like DNA,
biometric access control systems are considered far better than the other systems I have listed.
When it comes to access control of computer systems, many of the same types of control systems
mentioned above are also used along with passwords and encryption.
Uses of different systems
There are many ways to use the systems I have already mentioned. Almost all buildings use keys to
lock doors, but depending on the facility, they might also use smart card or proximity cards to
control access into different parts of the building. By doing this they can enhance security and
effectively control the access to different areas all through a computerized system. This allows them
to easily grant or deny access in a very short period of time or only allow access during certain times
of the day. Biometric access control systems can also be used in the same manner. Being able to
control access in this manner also allows for good tracking and logging of who comes and goes.

Access Controls And Access Control
This chapter is basically based on access control in regards to computer information security. Access
control is seen as the fundamental mechanism put in place to help make information security
successful. Access control feature, in a particular system, will control how users can communicate,
access and modify system resources and programs. Access control was described in this chapter as a
very useful tool for the computer information security because it helps with ensuring that
unauthorized person or program have no access to what they are not supposed to. Access control is
regarded as the first line of defense to control, protect and monitor organization's resource's
availability, confidentiality and integrity.
Furthermore, this chapter illustrates how users can be granted access to network resources. It
explained that for a user to be allowed access to a network he must satisfy the condition of
identification and authentication. The identification part could be something of user ID, name or
account number. The identification key is not enough to grant access, but it's simply a way of
introducing yourself by saying who you are. Then, at that point the system will request for you to
authenticate yourself (confirm who you said you are) by requesting for an authentication key. The
authentication key could be password, passphrase, personal identification number (PIN), or a token.
Once, the authentication is verified and the system found it to be correct, then access will be

Access Controls Provide A Mechanism
Introduction
Access Controls provide a mechanism, which allows an administrator to ensure that appropriate
techniques are in place to control how users interact with an IT system. It provides an avenue where
restrictions can be developed, specifying what a user can do, the resources they can access, and the
functions they can execute on a system. It is aligned with the three main security principles;
confidentiality, integrity and availability. This alignment ensures that data and resources within an
IT system will remain confidential as required, the structure will remain intact and these objects will
remain available, so as not to diminish the functionality of the system. Access controls that are
incorporated into a security plan are ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
One of the difficulties in managing this access arises from the need to provide a variety of user's
access, each requiring a different type of access to the system. For the sake of security, the need to
manage this access should be defined by one or more of the following frameworks; Role Based
Access Control (RBAC), Discretionary Access Controls (DAC), Mandatory Access Control (MAC),
and Mandatory Access Control (MAC).
Statement of Purpose
The current state of the organization's access control management system is consistent with that of
the DAC model. A recent move to outsource certain business practices and continued organizational
growth has created an environment where increases in employee hiring's and employee turnover are
inevitable. An analysis of various methods of access control has been requested, so that we can
better understand how specific access control attacks are perpetrated and their origin. Information
will be collected and then analyzed in order to substantiate any recommended changes to the current
access control configurations. RBAC, DAC, and MAC will be compared and contrasted, in order to
gain insight, as to how each plays a role in reducing the risk to a system, along with identifying the
strengths and weaknesses of each. These results, along with a detailed recommendation will be
presented to executive management, in order to generate the necessary support for altering the

Department of Health and Human Service (DHSS) will set up specific requirements that are meant
to ensure that information within the information systems is secure from unauthorized access. It will
further communicate the need for information and information system control to all its workers. 1.
Purpose The policy is meant to safeguard the DHHS IT assets from being accessed without
permission. It is also intended to ensure the protection of assets against accidental or purposeful
modification or destruction. It will achieve this by use of access controls, password management
among other information security tactics. 2. Scope The policies outlined in this ... Show more

The technical staff will ensure that a new employee is promptly registered into the system. They
must also update the employee status for them to know which employees of DHHS are active,
which ones are suspended, and who among them has his or her employment terminated. From this
information, they must temporarily deactivate the accounts of the suspended employees and disable
accounts whose owners are no longer employees or partners of DHHS. Updates will also lead to
updating the employee access privileges in accordance with their position in DHHS. c. Least
privileges The Office of the National Coordinator for Health I.T must ensure that the user access
rights and privileges are granted based on the work assigned to the employee. The information

Access Control In Healthcare
(1) The importance of access controls in addition to audit controls.
Understanding the importance of access controls and audit controls are two of the main steps for
implementing a successful compliance plan within all healthcare organizations. Three of the
important steps in addressing ways to maintain and utilize the access controls are authentication,
authorization, and audit (Gelzer, Acker, & Schneider, 2008). Authentication is used differently
within the healthcare organization on how they create the access to all credentialed users to the data
in a patient's PHI. Authorization is assigned to all the users on when and how they are allowed to
access specific data within a patient's PHI. Lastly, it is the process of an audit trail that ... Show more

The standard that supports this compliance is known as the Technical Safeguard Standard within the
HIPAA security rule. Therefore, the Security Official at the organization has the responsibility to
establish policies and procedures in regards to authentication. In this standard, an authentication is
needed to be accomplished by requiring employers to provide proof of identity to allow access to
PHI within the EHR. As for the form of authentication that is used to implement this standard can be

Due in Week Seven: Outline the Access Control Policy. Describe how access control methodologies
work to secure information systems
Access control is used to restrict operations, which authorized users can perform. Access control
does exactly what it says, it controls what access an authorized user can have. A reference monitor is
used for access control and follows instructions from an authorization database. These
authorizations are controlled and administered by a security administrator who sets ... Show more

It is also possible under some operating systems for the network or system administrator to dictate
which permissions users are allowed to set in the ACL's of the resources. Discretionary Access
Control has a more flexible environment than Mandatory Access Control, but also increases the risk
that data will be made accessible to users who should not gain access. Understanding permissions
about the security of file servers on the network will increase network security (Bushmiller, 2011).
2 Mandatory access control
Describe how and why mandatory access control will be used.
Mandatory Access Control (MAC) uses a hierarchy approach to control access to resources, such as
data files. The system administrator is responsible for the settings in a MAC environment. All access
to resource objects is controlled by the operating system based on setting configured by the system
administrator. With MAC it is not possible for users to change the access control for any resource.
Mandatory Access Control starts with security labels, which contain two types of information and
are assigned to all resource objects on the system. The two types of information are classification,
such as confidential or top secret and a category, which is basically an indication of the project or
department to which the object is available, or an indication of the management level.

Access Control Dbq
The purpose of access control, and the rights and privileges is to give users and objects associated
data and records in the database. Objects are tables, views, rows and columns. The goal of this
design is to manage and secure database and assigning such as user name and password.
Management procedures include reading, insert, update and delete or execute stored procedures. In
fact, some models such as access control in mandatory access control (MAC), Discretionary Access
Control (DAC) and the role of building access control (RBAC). Each one of them has some
qualities. And mandatory access control (MAC) means decisions are made by the central authority,
but they cannot change the access for individual owner of the object and the owner's rights.

Unlike UNIX ACL's, the order that entities are listed in the DACL for Windows is important, if a
group is denied access to an object, however one individual belonging to that group is allowed
access, then it is important to list the individual as being allowed access on the DACL before listing
the group to be denied. If it is done the opposite way around, then when the system checks the
DACL it will straight away deny the whole group, including the user that is allowed, similarly it
would be possible, if a group was allowed access but one individual was denied, to accidentally
allow the individual to gain access. Because of this flaw, DACL's must be carefully thought out
when the administrator is configuring it (Microsoft: 2008). Access Control Lists have the advantage
that they work well with commonly used systems, such as windows where there may be a number of
users where access needs to be regulated, they do however have a downside, if somebody is able to
gain access to the administrative part of the system they have full permissions, another flaw is that if
the administrator fails to grant permissions correctly they could leave the whole system open to
everybody, or block out all the users. With both UNIX and Windows, when ACL's are applied to
something such a directory, the permissions only applies for what is within a directory. If a file is
moved to a new directory it will adopt the new permissions, subdirectories

Role Based Access Controls
Role Based Access Controls

Professor M. Hansen
In order to establish system design controls that are directly related to the data input mechanism of a
network and in order to control data entry operations and prevent unauthorized access to information
or data; Role Based Access Controls (RBAC) are required. The basic principle of these controls is
that the data entry personnel, on any level, should be allowed limited access to only specific
information in order to get their jobs done. Because of higher data requirements, more data access
streams, higher employee turnover and outsourcing of data–entry processes there are many avenues
where data can acquired illegally from an outside source and within the organization ... Show more

In many applications, RBAC is concerned more with access to functions and information than
strictly with access to information. (Gupta, 2004)
The Common Criteria also note the following: "security policies defined for systems ... used to
process classified or other sensitive information must include provisions for the enforcement of
discretionary access control rules. That is, they must include a consistent set of rules for controlling
and limiting access based on identified individuals who have been determined to have a need–to–
know for the information." (Kim, 2012) The date input control is another challenge, When you have
several people entering data in your database, you can define how users must enter data in specific
fields to help maintain consistency and to make your database easier to manage. Role based input
control provides data input control. Free text input control, though unavoidable in forms that need
information from the user; should avoid using text boxes and text areas as much as possible. It can
be difficult for the user to enter content into free text input controls such as text boxes and text areas.
Instead, rely on radio buttons, select boxes, and even lists of links. Check boxes are a commonly
used input control; a check box is a small square box that allows the user to select an item or to
deselect it. The user makes this decision by clicking in the small square box. The control is normally

Abstract
Access controls empower the insurance of security resources by limiting access to frameworks and
information by clients, applications and different frameworks. It 's not spectacular, but rather
unquestionably, the occupants of sound access control are the foundation of any undertaking data
security program. It looks to avert exercises that could prompt a break of security. Access control
includes IAAA–Identification, Authentication, Authorization and Accountability. This paper tells
about the various access control techniques & technologies, administration, control methods, control
types, accountability, control practices, monitoring and threats to access control.
1. Introduction
Access control obliges what a client can do straightforwardly, and in addition what projects
executing for the clients are permitted to do. Thus get to control tries to anticipate action that could
prompt a break of security. This article clarifies access control and its relationship to other security

the computer was not locked. Controls should be put in place to requiring all employees to secure
their hardware. Office 2–1 also had a post it note with login information displayed. As previously

monitor the premises to ensure login information is not displayed in addition to the company strictly
enforcing such controls. Office 2–2 also had login information displayed, there was no fingerprint
scanner, a flash drive was on the desk as well as sensitive information. Again, increased security
surrounding login information needs to be enforced as well as encrypting flash drives and securing
sensitive information in a locked location.

An operating systems (OS) serves as the medium between the user of a computer and the hardware
that it resides on. The operating system manages how programs communicate with resources in a
computer, such as disk drives, microprocessor, CPU kernel, RAM ,usb external drives, network
interfaces, printers, and web cameras to name a few. Operating systems interact with application's
that are built by programmers in house or commercial off the shelf (COTS) such as Microsoft Office
Suite or Symantec Antivirus software. The information store on computers are essential to our way
of live. Protecting this information from malicious intruders is not always practice by IT

Access Control System
The access control system is a fundamental way of reducing security problems and control the
access of people to a place. The purpose of the access control is to make sure that the right people
are only granted the access to the place. The control system will ensure the privilege for people to
access the building according to their rights and level. The control system monitor and record all the
activities regarding the access control to lock and unlock the building, detect when a pass card is
used and used when it has been declared lost. (Benantar, 2006)
Improving the security system of the dormitory is important by creating an access control system to
lock and unlock the doors automatically through an electronic device reader that will allow visitors
during entry and required personnel. To correct insecurity, it is very important that the security
system be improved to discover the visitors that came in and to only allow the required staffs into
the system. Hence, our objective is to create an access control system that open and close the door
automatically through an electronic reader.
The system should be connected with the security camera system to enhance effective operation.
The access control system would require that all visitors swipe their cards through the card reader
and the system would check if the information on the card matches with information in the database;
then, if a match is found, the door would open (Sandhu & Munawer, 2002).

Remote Access Policy ( Vpn )
Remote Access Policy (Requirements to access the network remotely):
Created by Sid & shano (C0652560 & C0655515)
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this policy is to state the requirements to access the network and network resources
remotely using the existing Virtual Private Network (VPN) or User VPN.
DEFINITION:
A VPN is a secured private network connection built over a public network or internet which
provides an encrypted connection or tunnel between the user computer and a private network
(Millennium Internet). Use of VPN allows the user to be connected to millennium network resources
even off campus.

Mandatory Access Control
In computer security, Discretionary Access Control (DAC) is a type of access control in which a
user has complete control over all the programs it owns and executes, and also determines the
permissions other users have those those files and programs. Because DAC requires permissions to
be assigned to those who need access, DAC is commonly called described as a "need–to–know"
access model.
In computer security, discretionary access control (DAC) is a type of access control defined by the
Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria[1] "as a means of restricting access to objects based
on the identity of subjects and/or groups to which they belong. The controls are discretionary in the
sense that a subject with a certain access permission ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Early hardware–based enforcement implementations of MAC such as Honeywell's SCOMP, USAF
SACDIN, NSA Blacker, and Boeing's MLS LAN focused on MLS to protect military–oriented
security classification levels with robust enforcement. Originally, the term MAC denoted that the
access controls were not only guaranteed in principle, but in fact. Early security strategies[2]
enabled enforcement guarantees that were dependable in the face of national lab level attacks.
More recently, with the departure from strict hardware–based enforcement the expectations of the
term "mandatory" has become more relaxed, migrating from mandating near absolute enforcement
to acceptance of "best effort" enforcement. While software–based enforcement is more flexible, the
security technology has not yet produced a software–based enforcement strategy that can enforce a
policy with near certainty. This is because it has been much more difficult to be certain about what a

1.1. Authentication
Describe how and why authentication credentials are used to identify and control access to files,
screens, and systems. Include a discussion of the principles of authentication such as passwords,
multifactor authentication, biometrics, and single–sign–on.
Authentication credentials are used to control access to sensitive data or systems by making it hard
for people to get into the system who shouldn't have access. Passwords and usernames are a good
start because if they are kept secure, they are generally very hard to bypass. If they are bypassed by

1.2.2. Mandatory access control
Describe how and why mandatory access control will be used.
Mandatory access is used to authenticate actions between a subject and an object. In order for a
subject to access an object it must pass a set of authentication rules.
1.2.3. Role–based access control
Describe how and why role–based access control will be used.
RBAC is a very efficient way to control access to resources. This is because access is granted to
select roles based on what the needs each role has to complete its job. Then, the person or program
is assigned to the role and thus will only be granted the access granted to the role they are assigned.

Describe the policies for remote user access and authentication via dial–in user services and Virtual
Private Networks (VPN)
The policies for remote access, authentication via dial–in user services, and VPN's has to be more
strict than with general authentication and access within the work place. While there are ways for a
hacker to get into the system while following the usual work place policies, it would probably be
much easier to get in by one of these methods. When accessing resources remotely it is important to
have added authentication methods such as security questions or possibly some kind of portable

A Brief Note On Access Control Access Controls
Thus majority of the respondents think frequent change of password is necessary but not
manageable which indicate usability issues like inability to create passwords as frequently as
obligatory. Inglesant and Sasse (2010) found that end–users experience with password security
policy is that of rigidity in regards to their skills and official responsibilities.
Inglesant and Sasse (2010) also found an improvement in the number of their respondents that is 9
out of 32 respondents wrote down their passwords as end–users are more aware of data security.
Access control limit access to sensitive data based on organisation policies by determining who and
how data can be accessed based on a "need to know" of an entity like an employee's name, position
or something you are like fingerprints (Goodrich and Tamassia 2011, Kizza 2010). Additionally
identity depends on other characteristics such as something you are acquainted with like password
and something you have like secret encryption key. Access control is based on the assumption that
only the authorized entity has possession of what they are, know or have (Shabtai, Yuval and
Rokach 2012).
However access control is limited in preventing data leakage due to social engineering and
networking. This have led to recent development of using more than one form of access control in a
process called layered authentication like audio–visual interfaces (Jang–Jaccard and Nepal 2014).

Access Control For Access Controls
Access control is simply a method that allows or denies the right to use to resources that is deemed
to have a value worth protecting. Access controls define exactly who can interact with what,
regarding what the subject may do during the interaction session. The basis is granting rights and
privileges to a subject with respect to an object.
Access controls must be rooted in good policies and procedures with strong tools to implement
them. To ensure complete protection of resources access controls are split up into two different
phases. The first phase is about forming a strong access control policy to layout the ground work for
the rest of the organizations policies .This phase of access controls should at least address which
subjects have access to varying degrees of sensitive systems and data, for what reason, and for how
long. Authorization is the process that drives the operation of this phase. Policy enforcement is the
next phase granting or rejecting access based on authorization of the policy definition phase. To
guarantee enforcement of policies this phase is split up into three distinct operations: identification,
authentication, and accountability.
Well–reasoned authorization is the fundamental building blocks of formidable access controls.
Regulating the access to resources is crucial for the success of an organization. Developing clear and
concise policies will insure the prevention of security breaches from happening, as long as they

When a credential is put forward to a reader, the reader sends the credential's information to a
control panel. The control panel compares the credential's information to an access control list
which then accepts or denies the presented request, and sends a transaction log to a database. If there

As the use of computers, databases, and technology in general, security has grown to be a powerful
tool that has to be used. The threat of outside sources intruding and exploiting crucial information is
a threat that is present on a daily basis. As a part of creating and implementing a security policy, a

more. When it comes to working with Microsoft Access, people should know what it even is, what
the kinds of benefits there are, and what some of the different components are.
Microsoft Access is a database program. According to "What is Microsoft Access Used For?"

Basic Methods Of Access Control
Abstract
Physical security entails restricting physical access to controlled buildings, installations,
information, facilities, and personnel by unauthorized individuals. Access control may prevent
potential intruders, delay or frustrate intruders, and monitor and detect intruders. These methods are
classified under physical barriers, perimeter security, identification systems, and
electronic/mechanical barriers. Different methods of access control can be designed to respond to
different physical security needs. However, it is worth to note that no stand–alone method of access
control is effective and thus to improve effectiveness and performance, two or more methods should
be used in combination. This paper examines various methods of access control and their
effectiveness in relation to the physical security.
Introduction Controlling access is an important component of physical security to protect assets and
material resources. Making sure that only authorized vehicles, items, and people enter and exit
defined areas minimizes the risk of harm or loss to all assets (Fennelly, 2012). Physical security
entails security measures which are tailored to deny an unauthorized access to material resources,
such as buildings, critical installations, personnel, and information from terrorism, espionage, and
other criminal activities. Physical protection of material resources is intended to prevent potential

becoming complex every day (Hutter,2016). It was indicated that organization often over looked
physical security until after a serious event had occurred. Per Hutter, physical security threats were
either internal or external. Employees were considered external threats when they gain access to
unobserved areas and were considered internal threats when their knowledge was utilized.
Organizations were noted to implement the use of physical security through locked doors, access
control systems (i.e. Paxton Access Inc, Identiv), alarm systems and many other important
applicable measures.
Physical Access Controls
Physical Access Control enabled control entry into buildings, parking lots, and many other protected
areas. For example, many organization demonstrated the use of physical access when employees

If you choose to go with a server based information system, all of the entry and exit data collected
from your access points will be stored on a local server. This could be a server located on–site or a
remotely located server. With server–based storage, only an individual who has access to your server
will be able to access the entry and exit information for your business.
If security is a concern for you, a server based system to store information about who accesses your
building is the way to go. If having access to that information regardless of where you are at is
important to you, a browser based information storage system may be best.

The reasoning for this is because it relies on identifying unique human characteristics such as fingerprints, retinas, hands, etc. Since these characteristics are unique to each person like DNA, biometric access control systems are considered far better than the other systems I have listed. When it comes to access control of computer systems, many of the same types of control systems mentioned above are also used along with passwords and encryption. Uses of different systems There are many ways to use the systems I have already mentioned. Almost all buildings use keys to lock doors, but depending on the facility, they might also use smart card or proximity cards to control access into different parts of the building. By doing this they can enhance security and effectively control the access to different areas all through a computerized system. This allows them to easily grant or deny access in a very short period of time or only allow access during certain times of the day. Biometric access control systems can also be used in the same manner. Being able to control access in this manner also allows for good tracking and logging of who comes and goes.

Access control is seen as the fundamental mechanism put in place to help make information security successful. Access control feature, in a particular system, will control how users can communicate, access and modify system resources and programs. Access control was described in this chapter as a very useful tool for the computer information security because it helps with ensuring that unauthorized person or program have no access to what they are not supposed to. Access control is regarded as the first line of defense to control, protect and monitor organization's resource's availability, confidentiality and integrity. Furthermore, this chapter illustrates how users can be granted access to network resources. It explained that for a user to be allowed access to a network he must satisfy the condition of identification and authentication. The identification part could be something of user ID, name or account number. The identification key is not enough to grant access, but it's simply a way of introducing yourself by saying who you are. Then, at that point the system will request for you to authenticate yourself (confirm who you said you are) by requesting for an authentication key. The authentication key could be password, passphrase, personal identification number (PIN), or a token.

An analysis of various methods of access control has been requested, so that we can better understand how specific access control attacks are perpetrated and their origin. Information will be collected and then analyzed in order to substantiate any recommended changes to the current access control configurations. RBAC, DAC, and MAC will be compared and contrasted, in order to gain insight, as to how each plays a role in reducing the risk to a system, along with identifying the strengths and weaknesses of each.

In this first section I will look at methods such as Access Control Lists(ACL's), Capabilities and Encrypting file systems(EFS) and which Operating Systems use these as well as the advantages and disadvantages they have over each other. The second part of my report will focus on one OS and explain in detail the methods it uses to control file access and how it works. Section A – Review of File Access Control mechanisms. Access Control Lists – Access Control Lists are used by ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Unlike UNIX ACL's, the order that entities are listed in the DACL for Windows is important, if a group is denied access to an object, however one individual belonging to that group is allowed access, then it is important to list the individual as being allowed access on the DACL before listing the group to be denied. If it is done the opposite way around, then when the system checks the DACL it will straight away deny the whole group, including the user that is allowed, similarly it would be possible, if a group was allowed access but one individual was denied, to accidentally allow the individual to gain access. Because of this flaw, DACL's must be carefully thought out when the administrator is configuring it (Microsoft: 2008). Access Control Lists have the advantage that they work well with commonly used systems, such as windows where there may be a number of users where access needs to be regulated, they do however have a downside, if somebody is able to gain access to the administrative part of the system they have full permissions, another flaw is that if the administrator fails to grant permissions correctly they could leave the whole system open to everybody, or block out all the users. With both UNIX and Windows, when ACL's are applied to something such a directory, the permissions only applies for what is within a directory. If a file is moved to a new directory it will adopt the new permissions, subdirectories ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Hansen In order to establish system design controls that are directly related to the data input mechanism of a network and in order to control data entry operations and prevent unauthorized access to information or data; Role Based Access Controls (RBAC) are required. The basic principle of these controls is that the data entry personnel, on any level, should be allowed limited access to only specific information in order to get their jobs done. Because of higher data requirements, more data access streams, higher employee turnover and outsourcing of data–entry processes there are many avenues where data can acquired illegally from an outside source and within the organization ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... In many applications, RBAC is concerned more with access to functions and information than strictly with access to information. (Gupta, 2004) The Common Criteria also note the following: "security policies defined for systems ... used to process classified or other sensitive information must include provisions for the enforcement of discretionary access control rules. That is, they must include a consistent set of rules for controlling and limiting access based on identified individuals who have been determined to have a need–to– know for the information." (Kim, 2012) The date input control is another challenge, When you have several people entering data in your database, you can define how users must enter data in specific fields to help maintain consistency and to make your database easier to manage. Role based input control provides data input control. Free text input control, though unavoidable in forms that need information from the user; should avoid using text boxes and text areas as much as possible. It can be difficult for the user to enter content into free text input controls such as text boxes and text areas. Instead, rely on radio buttons, select boxes, and even lists of links. Check boxes are a commonly used input control; a check box is a small square box that allows the user to select an item or to deselect it. The user makes this decision by clicking in the small square box. The control is normally configured with the square box being white ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

To correct insecurity, it is very important that the security system be improved to discover the visitors that came in and to only allow the required staffs into the system. Hence, our objective is to create an access control system that open and close the door automatically through an electronic reader. The system should be connected with the security camera system to enhance effective operation. The access control system would require that all visitors swipe their cards through the card reader and the system would check if the information on the card matches with information in the database; then, if a match is found, the door would open (Sandhu & Munawer, 2002). ...

Mandatory Access Control In computer security, Discretionary Access Control (DAC) is a type of access control in which a user has complete control over all the programs it owns and executes, and also determines the permissions other users have those those files and programs. Because DAC requires permissions to be assigned to those who need access, DAC is commonly called described as a "need–to–know" access model. In computer security, discretionary access control (DAC) is a type of access control defined by the Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria[1] "as a means of restricting access to objects based on the identity of subjects and/or groups to which they belong. The controls are discretionary in the sense that a subject with a certain access permission ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ... Early hardware–based enforcement implementations of MAC such as Honeywell's SCOMP, USAF SACDIN, NSA Blacker, and Boeing's MLS LAN focused on MLS to protect military–oriented security classification levels with robust enforcement. Originally, the term MAC denoted that the access controls were not only guaranteed in principle, but in fact. Early security strategies[2] enabled enforcement guarantees that were dependable in the face of national lab level attacks. More recently, with the departure from strict hardware–based enforcement the expectations of the term "mandatory" has become more relaxed, migrating from mandating near absolute enforcement to acceptance of "best effort" enforcement. While software–based enforcement is more flexible, the security technology has not yet produced a software–based enforcement strategy that can enforce a policy with near certainty. This is because it has been much more difficult to be certain about what a software–based system will never do compared to that of hardware–based system.

Whoever has the responsibility to keep the data safe is probably the one responsible for dictating access. 1.2.2. Mandatory access control Describe how and why mandatory access control will be used. Mandatory access is used to authenticate actions between a subject and an object. In order for a subject to access an object it must pass a set of authentication rules. 1.2.3. Role–based access control Describe how and why role–based access control will be used. RBAC is a very efficient way to control access to resources. This is because access is granted to select roles based on what the needs each role has to complete its job. Then, the person or program is assigned to the role and thus will only be granted the access granted to the role they are assigned. 1.3. Remote access Describe the policies for remote user access and authentication via dial–in user services and Virtual Private Networks (VPN) The policies for remote access, authentication via dial–in user services, and VPN's has to be more strict than with general authentication and access within the work place. While there are ways for a hacker to get into the system while following the usual work place policies, it would probably be much easier to get in by one of these methods.

Inglesant and Sasse (2010) found that end–users experience with password security policy is that of rigidity in regards to their skills and official responsibilities. Inglesant and Sasse (2010) also found an improvement in the number of their respondents that is 9 out of 32 respondents wrote down their passwords as end–users are more aware of data security. Access control limit access to sensitive data based on organisation policies by determining who and how data can be accessed based on a "need to know" of an entity like an employee's name, position or something you are like fingerprints (Goodrich and Tamassia 2011, Kizza 2010). Additionally identity depends on other characteristics such as something you are acquainted with like password and something you have like secret encryption key. Access control is based on the assumption that only the authorized entity has possession of what they are, know or have (Shabtai, Yuval and Rokach 2012). However access control is limited in preventing data leakage due to social engineering and networking. This have led to recent development of using more than one form of access control in a process called layered authentication like audio–visual interfaces (Jang–Jaccard and Nepal 2014).

  • 56. Access Control For Access Controls Access control is simply a method that allows or denies the right to use to resources that is deemed to have a value worth protecting. Access controls define exactly who can interact with what, regarding what the subject may do during the interaction session. The basis is granting rights and privileges to a subject with respect to an object. Access controls must be rooted in good policies and procedures with strong tools to implement them. To ensure complete protection of resources access controls are split up into two different phases. The first phase is about forming a strong access control policy to layout the ground work for the rest of the organizations policies .This phase of access controls should at least address which subjects have access to varying degrees of sensitive systems and data, for what reason, and for how long. Authorization is the process that drives the operation of this phase. Policy enforcement is the next phase granting or rejecting access based on authorization of the policy definition phase. To guarantee enforcement of policies this phase is split up into three distinct operations: identification, authentication, and accountability. Well–reasoned authorization is the fundamental building blocks of formidable access controls. Regulating the access to resources is crucial for the success of an organization.

The threat of outside sources intruding and exploiting crucial information is a threat that is present on a daily basis. As a part of creating and implementing a security policy, a user must consider access control. Access Control is a security tool that is used to control who can use or gain access to the protected technology. Access control security includes two levels; logical and physical. Though database intrusions can happen at any moment, access control provides another security barrier that is needed. Access control has been in use before the growth of the technology world. It could involve a simple action as locking a door. A person locks a door to prevent entry to those who are not allowed or authorize to do so. The same can be said about the security involving databases and the controlling of who can have access and what can be accessed. As far as database security is concerned, there are various categories that are involved in access control. The four main categories of access control include: Discretionary, Mandatory, Role–based, and Rule–based access control.

  • 77. Basic Methods Of Access Control Abstract Physical security entails restricting physical access to controlled buildings, installations, information, facilities, and personnel by unauthorized individuals. Access control may prevent potential intruders, delay or frustrate intruders, and monitor and detect intruders. These methods are classified under physical barriers, perimeter security, identification systems, and electronic/mechanical barriers. Different methods of access control can be designed to respond to different physical security needs. However, it is worth to note that no stand–alone method of access control is effective and thus to improve effectiveness and performance, two or more methods should be used in combination. This paper examines various methods of access control and their effectiveness in relation to the physical security. Introduction Controlling access is an important component of physical security to protect assets and material resources. Making sure that only authorized vehicles, items, and people enter and exit defined areas minimizes the risk of harm or loss to all assets (Fennelly, 2012). Physical security entails security measures which are tailored to deny an unauthorized access to material resources, such as buildings, critical installations, personnel, and information from terrorism, espionage, and other criminal activities. Physical protection of material resources is intended to prevent potential intruders, detect intruders, and trigger apt incident ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

Organizations emphasized the use of physical security to help enable the use of physical access controls. It was reported that physical security became difficult to manage due to technology becoming complex every day (Hutter,2016). It was indicated that organization often over looked physical security until after a serious event had occurred. Per Hutter, physical security threats were either internal or external. Employees were considered external threats when they gain access to unobserved areas and were considered internal threats when their knowledge was utilized. Organizations were noted to implement the use of physical security through locked doors, access control systems (i.e. Paxton Access Inc, Identiv), alarm systems and many other important applicable measures. Physical Access Controls Physical Access Control enabled control entry into buildings, parking lots, and many other protected areas. For example, many organization demonstrated the use of physical access when employees used programmed security cards. Security cards used in organization for access were noted to but known as "smart cards" (David & Solomon, 2014, p 154). Current ... Get more on HelpWriting.net ...

  • 81. Access Controls And Access Control Security Essay INTRODUCTION As the use of computers, databases, and technology in general, security has grown to be a powerful tool that has to be used. The threat of outside sources intruding and exploiting crucial information is a threat that is present on a daily basis. As a part of creating and implementing a security policy, a user must consider access control. Access Control is a security tool that is used to control who can use or gain access to the protected technology. Access control security includes two levels; logical and physical. Though database intrusions can happen at any moment, access control provides another security barrier that is needed. Access control has been in use before the growth of the technology world. It could involve a simple action as locking a door. A person locks a door to prevent entry to those who are not allowed or authorize to do so. The same can be said about the security involving databases and the controlling of who can have access and what can be accessed. As far as database security is concerned, there are various categories that are involved in access control. The four main categories of access control include: Discretionary, Mandatory, Role–based, and Rule–based access control. According to Rouse (2006), "Computer databases typically contain aggregations of data records or files, such as sales transactions, product catalogs and inventories, and customer profiles" (Rouse, 2006).
