Antipassback (APB): A feature that blocks individual
cards from being used to:
+ Re-enter the same area, or;
+ Re-enter the facility from 'outside', and/or;
+ (Optional): Enter other areas;
…Unless
they are recorded as exiting first--i.e., each
person must use their card/token at every reader they
encounter (that is set to "Detect Antipassback"). Tip:
This helps to protect against unauthorized card usage.

an individual and/or for all areas associated with
