Access control is, in [[reality]], an everyday [[phenomenon]]. A lock on a car door is essentially a form of access control. A PIN on an ATM system at a bank is another means of access control. Bouncers standing in front of a night club is perhaps a more [[primitive]] mode of access control (given the evident lack of information [[technology]] involved). The possession of access control is of prime importance when persons seek to secure important, [[confidential]], or [[sensitive]] [[information]] and equipment. | Access control is, in [[reality]], an everyday [[phenomenon]].
