The Aristotle MetaData Registry is already built on the strong, secure web-framework provided by Django and includes a vast suite of tests that ensure the security of metadata at all stages of the data lifecycle.

But to enhance this, work has begun on a new extension to Aristotle, called Pythias, that incorporates additional user tracking and security to provide peace of mind when deploying large scale metadata systems.

Powered by django-axes and django-user-sessions this will give Aristotle site administrators the power to track login successes and failure, block access at an IP level, automatically lock out user accounts and block concurrent logins. It will also give users the ability to view current logins and remote logout from sessions.
