Abstract
Using Jupyter notebooks in an HPC environment exposes a system and its users to several security risks. The Satellite Proxy Service, developed at SDSC, addresses many of these security concerns by providing Jupyter Notebook servers with a token-authenticated HTTPS reverse proxy through which end users can access their notebooks securely with a single URL copied and pasted into their web browser.
