Activity 5.8

The advantage of using swipe cards, access codes and Keys is that if someone wants to mass-delete important file types like .dll, they would have to have an important reason and the proper privileges to get in.
The disadvantage is that if someone needs to get in and they’ve forgotten their keys or their swipe card.

~Swipe Cards ~
¬Uses mains (Mostly)
¬Limited storage data
¬USB Interface, Could be hacked into
People can’t get in without the card.
~Access Codes~
¬Uses network, If the server goes down, so does the input machine
¬Codes can be forgotten, if forgot, the person can’t get access
~Keys~
¬Could be left at home
¬Keys can be lost or misplaced

A System could need to be on 24/7 so it can get new business deals overnight, also, it costs more to turn a computer off than on, so a business having a 24/7 server is a win-win situation.
