Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing a security system. The method includes the steps of providing an identity card for use by a person entering a secured area of the security system, reading the identity card at an entry point to the secured area, randomly generating an alphanumeric key upon the occurrence of a predetermined event, writing the alphanumeric key into the identify card at the entry point, reading the card within the secured area as a request for access to a computer and granting access to the computer by the person, but only when an alphanumeric key is found on the card that matches the generated alphanumeric key.

Abstract: A method and system for dynamic association of security levels and enforcement of security procedures. A secure object can be tracked across a building or complex, and security levels may be dynamically updated to reflect the new security requirement. In response to the security level adjustment, security measures and protocols may be implemented dynamically. The system comprises a sensitivity index assigned to each of a plurality of secure objects, a scanner for detecting the sensitivity index, and a logic unit in communication with the scanner for determining a security level for the secure area based on the sensitivity indices of the plurality of secure objects within the secure area. The method comprises detecting a plurality of secure objects within a secure area, each secure object having a sensitivity index, and determining a security level for the secure area based on the sensitivity indices of the plurality of secure objects within the secure area.
