NAME
Dancer2::Session::Cookie - Dancer 2 session storage in secure cookies
VERSION
version 0.004
SYNOPSIS
# In Dancer 2 config.yml file
session: Cookie
engines:
session:
Cookie:
secret_key: your secret passphrase
default_duration: 604800
DESCRIPTION
This module implements a session factory for Dancer 2 that stores
session state within a browser cookie. Features include:
* Data serialization and compression using Sereal
* Data encryption using AES with a unique derived key per cookie
* Enforced expiration timestamp (independent of cookie expiration)
* Cookie integrity protected with a message authentication code (MAC)
See Session::Storage::Secure for implementation details and important
security caveats.
ATTRIBUTES
secret_key (required)
This is used to secure the cookies. Encryption keys and message
authentication keys are derived from this using one-way functions.
Changing it will invalidate all sessions.
default_duration
Number of seconds for which the session may be considered valid. If
"cookie_duration" is not set, this is used instead to expire the session
after a period of time, regardless of the length of the browser session.
It is unset by default, meaning that sessions expiration is not capped.
SEE ALSO
CPAN modules providing cookie session storage (possibly for other
frameworks):
* Dancer::Session::Cookie -- Dancer 1 equivalent to this module
* Catalyst::Plugin::CookiedSession -- encryption only
* HTTP::CryptoCookie -- encryption only
* Mojolicious::Sessions -- MAC only
* Plack::Middleware::Session::Cookie -- MAC only
* Plack::Middleware::Session::SerializedCookie -- really just a
framework and you provide the guts with callbacks
