|
||
| Continuous integration (CI) is a software development practice in which changes to the source are frequently integrated into the main codebase. | ||
|
|
||
| It's an important practice whenever a team of developers is working on a shared codebase. In this situation, different developers might be making overlapping changes to the code at the same time, each in their personal branches. Frequent integration of each developer's changes makes it much less likely that conflicts will occur, and much easier to resolve them when they do. | ||
|
|
||
| As [Martin Fowler observes](https://martinfowler.com/articles/continuousIntegration.html#EveryonePushesCommitsToTheMainlineEveryDay): | ||
|
|
||
| > Integration is primarily about communication. Integration allows developers to tell other developers about the changes they have made. Frequent communication allows people to know quickly as changes develop. | ||
|
|
||
| A major aspect of CI is automated build and test: typically, in a CI system, as soon as a developer opens a pull request to commit their changes to the main branch, an automated process builds the product and runs tests. Once all the tests pass, the change can be peer-reviewed. |

|
|
||
| Multi-factor authentication (MFA) is an authentication method in which the user has to present more than one type of evidence to a system in order to be authenticated. | ||
|
|
||
| Most commonly, three different types of evidence (or _factors_) are distinguished: | ||
|
|
||
| - Something you know, such as a password or PIN | ||
| - Something you have, such as a cellphone or a hardware security token | ||
| - Something you are: a biometric such as a fingerprint | ||
|
|
||
| If an authentication system requires the user to provide more than one of these factors in order to authenticate, then it is a multi-factor system. | ||
|
|
||
| For example, the system might ask the user for a password as well as a code generated by the authenticator app on their phone. |

| title: Principle of least privilege | ||
| slug: Glossary/Principle_of_least_privilege | ||
| page-type: glossary-definition | ||
| sidebar: glossarysidebar | ||
| --- | ||
|
|
||
| The principle of least privilege is a design consideration in computer security, according to which entities (including users, system processes, or programs) should be granted the minimum amount of access that they need in order to do their jobs. | ||
|
|
||
| For example, in a software development team, all members might need the ability to write to the source code repository, but only a subset of the team might need the ability to alter the repository's security settings. | ||
|
|
||
| Applying the principle of least privilege reduces the potential damage when an entity is compromised by an attacker: so for example, if a team member's account is compromised, then the damage that the attacker can do is limited by the privileges that were granted to that team member. |

SMS is insecure; at the least, this should be a one time code using an authenticator app.
