Door Locks
Section 4
Critical physical security control measure designed to restrict and regulate access to specific spaces or properties, preventing unauthorized intrusions and safeguarding sensitive data and individuals
3 types
Types of Door Locks
- Traditional Padlocks
- Basic Door Locks
- Modern Electronic Door Locks
Authentication methods
Modern Electronic Door Locks
- Identification Numbers
- Wireless Signals (NFC)
- Biometric
- Cipher Locks
Cipher is best option when you do not want to use electronic locks. A cipher lock is a mechanical locking system that uses push buttons, often numbered, and requires the correct combination to be entered for access.
Biometric Challanges
False Acceptance Rate (FAR): Occurs when the system erroneously
authenticates an unauthorized user
False Rejection Rate (FRR): Denies access to an authorized user. Increasing sensitivity can increase FRR
Crossover Error Rate (CER): A balance between FAR and FRR for optimal authentication effectiveness
