6 Wargames - Big Shell
31
Fig. 8: The Big Shell facility has several security screening measures that prevents intruders from gaining access to certain crucial locations. At the very start of the game, Raiden has to submit his biometric fingerprint to log onto the Big Shell’s computer network and gain certain security clearances. Once inside, he encounters an image-based camera recognition system that is used to deny access to the elevator if the person has not been given the clearance to use the elevator. Another instance where Raiden comes face to face with the ’wonders’ of Enterprise Information Security is when he has to pass a retinal scanner which has been set up so that only soldiers whose iris patterns have been inserted into the database are admitted entry to a specific room.
