Encrypted Authentication Security Standards
—Making Secure Connections—

Encrypted Authentication is part of a larger push by ITS to make the CU-Boulder campus network more secure. There are several reasons why the campus is working to improve security. Not only does it help protect our network from malicious computer attacks and stolen logins, passwords, etc., but also new federal grant rules require secure computer practices. If you have any additional questions about this project, or if you still need help completing the transition, please contact (303) 735-4357 (5-HELP from a campus phone).
