8. Each of the eight users has their own PIN which they use to gain access Using PINs mean that access rights can be changed for every individual without affecting other users PINs also allow users to be identified by the system for reporting purposes However more numbers valid on a keypad will increase the chances of guessing a correct number This means that a non authorised person can gain access by randomly pressing keys on the keypad To reduce these risks to an acceptable level it is necessary to increase the number of digits in the PIN Example of card plus code A proximity reader and a keypad are used to control access through a door A user is required to present their proximity card to the reader and enter a valid code This involves two elements of security possession and knowledge The possession of the card is required AND a valid code has to be known If the card is lost it cannot be used on its own If the code is discovered it cannot be used without a valid card Example of card plus PIN A magnetic stripe reader and a keypad is used to control the access through a door A user is required to swipe their card and enter their PIN number Only the combination of that user card AND that user PIN number is acceptable This involves both possession and knowledge but increases security even further If a user card is lost it can only be used to gain access when used with the specific PIN number For security reasons bank cash
