Question 100

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

    Correct Answer: C

    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.'
