IIA-CIA-Part3 Exam - Question 100


Which of the following physical access controls is most likely to be based on "something you have" concept?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: CD

A card-key scanner is based on the concept of 'something you have.' This means that access is granted based on possession of a physical item. In this case, the card-key acts as the physical token that the user must possess to gain access. Other options like a retina characteristics reader or a fingerprint scanner are based on 'something you are,' which are biometric controls, while a PIN code reader is based on 'something you know.'

can someone pls explain why C is not correct. "Something you have" could be access card whereas fingerprint falls in category of "something you are" i.e. biometric.

Something you are (eg. a fingerprint). Base authentication on something intrinsic to the principal being authenticated. so D is wrong
