CAIN software system. [CAIN = Computer Access by Individual Number]
The Computer Access by Individual Number (CAIN) personnel security-access system at the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory is discussed. The system uses a coded insert in a laminated personnel badge. A number of badge readers are attached to the system by secure lines. The readers are used by the system for control of access booths, perimeter off-hours logging and file modification. Each reader has the ability of transmitting additional parameters, such as an individual's numeric combination code and his weight. The software uses a fixed head disc for the system files. The program is core resident with the booth-access and logging processes executed as interrupt-driven procedures. The system allows entry, verification and change of access files via a number of input terminals.
