IdentiLab - Authentication Lab for Student Coding Projects
Studentnet is announcing IdentiLab - an innovative new pilot project to assist schools to teach authentication and identity protection principles as part of their digital curriculum.
Modern apps use internationally standardised open protocols to authenticate user credentials. These protocols include SAML2 for network connected devices and OpenID Connect for mobile connected devices.
But how do student coding projects learn about these protocols?
Even then, how do they test their coding projects to make sure
they work?
Welcome to Studentnet's IdentiLab project which provides a complete, modern authentication and identity laboratory within which students can experiment and test their innovative apps and coding ideas.
Amongst other resources, IdentiLab provides a Cloudwork instance to be used:
- by students for their coding projects AND
- by school IT staff to test new in-house development tasks
Just like Cloudwork, IdentiLab supports all of the modern authentication, security and identity protocols. This ensures that apps developed using IdentiLab, whether by students or internal IT staff, are completely up to date and ready for real world use.
IdentiLab is entering its initial pilot phase. We are inviting participation from school IT departments and digital curriculum educators to help shape the facility maximising the benefit delivered. Please contact us now for further information.
