Description

Add authentication options to the controller which allow a grid to require a username/password combination for performing certain activities, namely
  • Computing (i.e. private grids which want control over compute nodes)
  • Adding new crack jobs
  • Deleting crack jobs
  • Viewing other users' jobs and cracked hashes

No fancy encryption techniques are needed since the protocol can trivially be run over HTTPS instead of HTTP. (HTTP authentication is not suitable in this case because multiple levels of access are required.)
