Security card-access

Access security is the major concern of VPNs. Stahc passwords are not secure enough. Access to VPNs typically requires dynamic password control through tokens. These are credit card-size devices that a user must physically have when entering the system. When accessing the user enters... 

The security procedures should be in writing. Security should also extend to devices used to store programmes, such as tapes, disks and magnetic strip cards. Access to these devices should be controlled. 

Are security personnel trained in sprinkler system operation and cutoff In fire extinguisher use Are computer operating and records rooms, laboratories, and other sensitive areas secured by modem personnel identification systems (card access, hand print, eye retina) ... 

Main security solutions proposed to address security requirements of patient-monitoring systems reside in the areas of encryption and secure communication. Access-control techniques need to be developed to address the privacy issues in eHealth applications. In particular, procedures for authentication (user identification) and authorization (access right checking) are essential for acceptable and sustainable eHealth applications. The authentication function ensures that users are indeed who they claim to be. Therefore, an unauthorized party should not be able to receive or access a patient s medical data. Various techniques being considered include a combination of different authentication atomics. These atomics include biometric information (fingerprint, retina scan, typing pattern, etc.) and information the user knows (mother s maiden name), user possessions (e.g., smart card identification systems), and may also include current location and/or the end-user terminal identity (media access control [MAC] hardware address) and time of access. 

Firewalls may be a piece of hardware, a software program, or an appliance card that contains both. Advanced features that can be incorporated into firewalls allow for the tracking of attempts to log on to the local area network system. For example, a report of successful and unsuccessful log-on attempts may be generated for the computer specialist to analyze. For systems with mobile users, firewalls allow remote access to the private network by the use of secure log-on procedures... 

Devices such as key locks, magnetic card readers, cipher locks, and network firewall systems (which may include both computer hardware and software) are physical security measures used to limit access to authorized individuals. 

A Warehouse System encompassing all aspects of the management and maintenance of the storage facility in line with the relevant regulatory and local health and safety expectations. This will encompass maintenance of standards of cleanliness, sterile areas, temperature, humidity, pest control systems, and physical security (including the restriction of access to controlled drugs). This system may interface with physical alarm systems for the building and other automated access control systems (e.g., swipe-card systems).

There are three aspects of security physical security (e.g., locks for buildings, badge access to secure rooms), logical security (e.g., passwords for computers or networks, smart cards), and operational policies and procedures (e.g., oath of office, management approval). Adequately protecting assets and assuring personal privacy requires attention. 

In some applications, such as self-marked multiple choice tests for large classes, it is important that the students should not have direct access to files containing the questions, the answers or the scores. All that is required is a simple system of marking their work and here devices such as optical mark-sense card or document readers can ensure simple, secure and fast input. These devices can detect marks made in pencil or pen on specially-printed cards or sheets. Each card or sheet read can contain the responses to dozens of questions and can be read in less than 1 s. Very large classes can be handled using a single microcomputer [3, 4]. 

In smaller or less secure laboratories, checkpoints are established by locking all access doors—i.e., only those with a key may enter. In a more security-conscious laboratory complex, each area or room in the facility is individually controlled with a computer-activated system. The computer system can identify the person who enters, log entry and exit times and give management the ability to restrict unnecessary or unscheduled access (e.g., entry late at night). Each room has a list of approved access personnel, and only those personnel will be able to enter by use of their magnetic or bar-coded personal ID card. 

Finally, security devices such as strip or barcode readers need to be tested periodically. These usually, though not exclusively, fail safe. (Any Visa aedit card was once found to give access to parts of a large pharmaceutical manufacturing site in the United States. History does not record what it did to the credit card ) This check is therefore best incorporated into routine internal audit procedures. 

Now, instead of faxing in their sheets with dimensions, the customers access the custom frame seetion of the Web site, fill in the online form, and give their credit card number for the down payment over a secure line (pre-sales information, transaction information, and transaction). 

Security begins with the individual, and prudent security practices for laboratories should include a system that limits access to authorized personnel who have a need to work in the laboratory. Authorized personnel should be approved to work in a particular area and have access and authority to use COCs by someone in the institution. Authorized personnel should be given access through keys or card keys and may have identification badges. The issuance of keys or card keys should be subject to an established process in which laboratory personnel sign for keys and turn them in when they leave the program. Keys should be of a type that is not readily duplicated.
