Look inside
In this liveProject, you’ll use the Rust programming language to develop a two-step verification system for authentication service. You’ve decided to work in Rust because it runs without memory issues, it’s data race free, and provides safe concurrency.
Your client’s employees work on different operating systems, so your verification system needs to function on Mac, Linux, and Windows. To complete this system, you’ll need to develop a RESTful service as its core backend, and then write a Rust client that is going to be called by Linux as part of its authentication process. Finally, you’ll use Rust to develop Admin and verification clients, write a thin layer of C code as a PAM module, and configure Linux to use the PAM module in its authentication pipeline.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
book resources
When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books for 90 days.
prerequisites
