Hand geometry recognition is primarily used for which type of access?

• A. PC access
• B. Watch list access
• C. Door access
• D. Server access

Answer: (C)

Hand geometry recognition is a biometric method used for physical access control at entry points. It measures features of the hand—such as finger length, width, and overall shape—to verify identity and permit or deny passage through a door. This approach works well for door access in buildings because it is quick, unobtrusive, and suitable for high-traffic areas. It isn’t typically used for computer or server authentication, which rely on digital credentials or more stringent biometrics in network or system contexts. It also isn’t about screening people against a watch list, which is about identification within a crowd rather than granting controlled entry.
