...Abstract Access control systems were examined to determine if a network based system would be more reliable and beneficial. Two major systems were determined to be very beneficial to the company. In contrast, the systems would consume a great deal of resources in order to be put into full working order at all sites worldwide. Together these findings suggest that using a network based system can ultimately serve the company better and create a more secure environment for the research and the employees. Keywords: Access control, CCURE, Locknetics, security, networking Network Based Access Control Systems: What Are They? Personal and confidential information can easily be accessed at sites if the access to the specific areas is not updated quickly enough. To secure and protect this data, technology must adapt to mitigate the threats and risks. Applications and services are becoming mobile across multiple resources, sometimes in a dynamically allocated way, necessitating the migration of sensitive and private data. I propose a network based access control system to address the inadequacies of current technological solutions in preserving the confidentiality and privacy of data, along with the safety and security of the site. More specifically, I describe a solution for securing all Bristol-Myers Squibb sites throughout the world. Access control systems have become a basic way of life for many businesses, especially large businesses. There are many different variations...

...accomplish this we will have proximity card readers to access the dormitory as well as card readers on the doors to the rooms. The proximity card is the most popular access device as well as inexpensive and long lasting. The holder is identified to the system by the proximity card used. The aspect of the proximity card is that it only needs to be held near the reader to work. Cards can be printed with the student’s pictures for added security. Each student of the dormitory will be issued a card that has access to the dormitory as well as access will be provided for each individual dorm room. The constraint of the project is that we must use the existing security camera system which is designed to face and rotate to record a person as they use their identification card to gain entrance to the building. The proximity card must only allow students who live in the dormitory access. The system should deny access to anyone who is not authorized to enter the dormitory. What the new proximity system could do is lower the reported theft incidents reported. The ACS will not operate in the event there is a power outage. The system must have a failsafe door in this event to allow student entry or departure. The first task is to review the current security system to identify if any additional equipment will be needed. Upon review of the system we found that closed circuit cameras work in conjunction with access systems. The cameras are designed to face and rotate to record...

...how a hacker thinks and then utilize the tools a hacker would use. Today, every company is becoming completely networked, through the exchanging of information on desktops, laptops, tablets and smart phones. Thinking like a hacker and understanding a hacker’s tactics and scams could make you aware and become more effective when applying countermeasures. There are several methods for carrying out ethical hacking, the most common are limited vulnerability and penetration testing. Limited vulnerability analysis, focus on entry points to gather critical systems and data. By understanding the basic approach used by hackers to target organizations, you will be better equipped to take defensive measures you will be better equipped and know what you are up against. There are steps involved in scanning a network, the following points will highlight them. 1) Check for live systems, 2) Check for open ports, 3) Fingerprint the operating system, 4) Scan for vulnerabilities, 5) Probe the network. Tools that can be used to detect scanning threats and countermeasures that a company can use to deter and avoid vulnerabilities are as follows. “Spoofing user identity -use strong authentication for passwords, do not store secrets (for example, passwords) in plaintext. Do not pass credentials in plaintext over the Internet. Tampering with data –use data hashing and signing, use digital signatures, use strong authorization, use tamper-resistant protocols across communication links, secure communication...

...Access Control Systems & Technology Paper SEC/420 Alarm Systems Bells and whistles usually signify celebration and late night partying for the everyday hardworking, fun loving person. However, for the security professional those bells and whistles denote trouble, threats, and breaches. Alarms serve as a tool to alert security professionals and others who aim to protected assets, property and people. Alarms are devises installed in places such as schools, banks, homes, businesses, cars, and even on machines such as boilers and machines. Alarms come in many forms and designs all with the objective to identify an intrusion or malfunction and alert someone of the issue. The alarm system uses are determined by the assets, people, or property they are meant to protect. Other factors include budget, level of threat, and risk levels. Types of Alarms There are several types of electronic alarm systems. There are the movement detectors, magnetic reed switches, and distress or panic alarm systems. These systems are effective measures to detect intruders and alert security professionals of danger, intrusions, and emergency situations silently and audibly. Movement Detectors Movement detector alarm systems are devices that are connecting the detector to the alarm and activate the alarm when a breach occurs. The movement detector is installed on walls, at strategic locations throughout a building or facility. A movement detector system recognizes movement or heat and...

...how the UNIX permission system implements access control. Describe an extension of this system that permits finer control. Access Control in Unix UNIX has an implementation of access control lists for providing the features of security to its users. Every user has a right to log into the system with his/her credentials (username and password) and initiate a process which can further make system requests. Every process is assigned a unique identifying number called the process “uid”. This number can be obtained from the /etc/password file. A sample record from this file looks like below: “uid” essentially is the user id of the user who started the process. Every process may also carry an “effective uid”, which may or may not be different from its uid. Access control lists are also categorized with the use of group ids or group names. Every process has a list of groups, it is associated with. This is the basic level of authentication implemented in Unix. Since Unix understands everything as a file, it is important to see how security is ensured for files in Unix. There are 12 mode bits which are used to encode the privileges related to protection. Out of these 12 bits, first 9 bits are divided into 3 groups. Each group contains 3 bits describing the permissions related to user (u), group (g) and others (o). If a bit is set to “ON”, the corresponding privilege is enabled (r – read, w – write, x – execute). Extension of Unix security system A finer security mechanism...
