4 Managing Security and Smart Cards Managing Security: Configuration Settings ; Make screen saver secure If you select this option, the PC automatically locks when the screen saver comes on. Default value: ; Potential security impact: Medium Implications: Value Security Level Provided Implications ON (checked) Higher OFF (unchecked) Lower The PC automatically locks when the screen saver comes on. This means that, if the screen saver comes on, the user must enter their PIN to regain access to the PC (or the Windows screen saver password, if they set a screen saver password). Also, if the user removes their smart card when the screen saver is on, no other valid smart card holders can subsequently gain access to the PC. This is appropriate for higher security, since the PC will lock automatically when it is not being used (and possibly unattended). Note that the Windows screen saver must be set for this to work. If the screen saver comes on, the user or anyone else may be able to gain access to the PC simply by moving the cursor or mouse (if there is no Windows screen saver password). This setting is perhaps appropriate for environments where the user rarely leaves their desk, or where ease of use (quicker access to the PC) is more important. ; Allow unauthenticated shutdown If you set this option, anybody can shut down the PC, even if they are not logged on. Default value: † Potential security impact: Medium Implications: Value Security Level Provided Implications ON (checked) Lower Anyone can shut down the PC. 52
