MIT Building Access
IS&T maintains the Institute's campus safety and security infrastructure, enabling access to MIT buildings.
Security
MIT ID
An MIT ID is a digital (or physical) credential enabling community members to authenticate themselves to card readers on and off campus.
Community members with an active MIT Kerberos account can use the MIT Atlas mobile application to enable their digital ID. If a physical ID card is required, the individual can use the MIT Atlas mobile app to print out a card at one of several self-service kiosks on campus.
Campus Safety and Security Infrastructure
IS&T's Campus Safety and Security Infrastructure (CSSI) team provides campus-wide security devices and systems to keep your office and building safe.
The SEMO team has recently integrated with the IS&T CSSI team. Services previously provided by SEMO are now provided by the CSSI team.
Request repair, installation, or other services from IS&T CSSI.
LastPass Enterprise
LastPass is a password management system that removes the inconvenience of remembering all of your passwords and increases security.
Duo Security
IS&T provides access to Duo, a two-factor authentication application that leverages landlines and smartphones as an "Approve" or "Deny" system to identify users. Duo is a self-service web application for Touchstone-enabled web applications at MIT.
OpenID Connect Authorization
OpenID Connect (OIDC) is a RESTful authorization service that allows members of the MIT community to set authorization requirements for applications to access their RESTful Web APIs and Services at MIT. These requirements are based on OAuth2.0.
Certificates
Touchstone Authentication
MIT Touchstone is a single sign-on web authentication service that allows members of the MIT community to log in to participating MIT and federated websites using their MIT credentials. When using a Touchstone-enabled application, your credentials will never be passed to the application service.
Passwords
Passwords protect and limit access to your personal data and to IT resources at MIT.
If your password is over a year old, you will be required to change it when you renew your MIT certificate(s). Note: IS&T will never ask you to send or reset your password via email.
Security Awareness and Education
IS&T offers a number of services aimed at making your computing experience safer. This includes providing you with information and educational opportunities to increase your safe computing awareness.
