Implications
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.
Implications
Anyone can shut down the PC.
