Which type of security device requires the user to validate access by inserting some type of identification card?

You might need to insert a smartcard into a badge reader on a protected computer or area. A smartcard is a type of badge or card that grants access to various resources such as buildings, parking lots, and computers. It provides information on your identity and access privileges. The user does not have to touch the card to the reader if radio frequency identification (RFID) is being used and the reader is a wireless, no-contact device. A number known as a PIN (personal identification number) code must be entered to access a system. A security token, which might be hardware or software, is something you possess and is used to validate your identity. A part of your body is used in biometric identification.
