A variety of different methods to prevent unauthorized programs from being installed on a computer, unauthorized disks from being accessed, or unauthorized personnel from using the computer. Access control procedures therefore seek to limit the physical entree the virus has at getting onto the computer.

Power of Government to restrict/control a property owner's right to create entrances and exits on a public road. After a roadway is designed, built, and in use, there will be instances in which someone will request permission to create a driveway or entrance onto the roadway. These requests require consideration of local access control regulations, potential impacts to the roadway, and safety and capacity (ability of roadway to carry the additional traffic), that a new entrance will create. You should consult with your STD and/or your local engineering staff when considering a request.

In its simplest form, it is a means of limiting access to certain people at certain locations and at certain times of the day within a controlled zone.

Requires that access to information resources be controlled by or for the target system. In the context of network security, access control is the ability to limit and control the access to host systems and applications via communications links. To achieve this control, each entity trying to gain access must first be identified, or authenticated, so that access rights can be tailored to the individual.
