摘要:
State management (cookie) data is encrypted so that access control data included in the cookie is unable to be modified by the user. A hashing algorithm is performed using various fields in the cookie data and the hash value is encrypted. The hash value is combined with other data such as the user identifier and a time stamp and encrypted to form a cookie value. When a request is received, the cookie data is checked. If the token value is not in the server's cache then the token is authenticated facilitating movement of the client between servers. If the cookie does not exist or is timed out, then the user is authenticated using traditional means.
