21 Feb 12:00 pm 1:00 pmCompute Ontario Colloquium: Multi-Factor Authentication (Marco Saldarriaga, SciNet)Multi-factor authentication, MFA, two-factor authentication, or 2FA, along with similar terms, is an electronic authentication method in which a user is granted access to a device, website or application only after successfully presenting two or more pieces of evidence (or factors) to an authentication mechanism: MFA protects user data—which may include personal identification or financial assets from being accessed by an unauthorized third party that may have been able to discover, for example, a single password. We will explain the most common uses of MFA today, and how MFA is being implemented in our environment. Online | COCO - 21 Feb 2024 |
23 Feb 1:00 pm 4:00 pmIntro to Linux Command LineWorking with many of the HPC systems (like those at SciNet) involves using the Linux/UNIX command line. This provides a very powerful interface, but it can be quite daunting for the uninitiated. In this half-day session, you can become initiated with this course which will cover basic commands. It could be a great boon for your productivity.Format: Virtual Virtual | SCMP101 - Feb 2024 |
