	A few months ago, a new feature was developed that allows users to easily upload their public SSH key to their CCDB account, which can then be used to login to any of the Compute Canada clusters ([[Cedar]], [[Graham]], [[Béluga/en]] and Niagara/Mist). This new feature is part of a continuous improvement of security within the Compute Canada Federation.

	We are now taking this one step further and evaluating the possibility of restricting authentication to the Compute Canada clusters using SSH keys only. A pilot involving a phased-in implementation of this restriction will run on Niagara/Mist in the following weeks.
