Class SignedToken

java.lang.Object

com.google.gerrit.server.mail.SignedToken

public class SignedToken
extends Object

Utility function to compute and verify XSRF tokens.

SignedTokenEmailTokenVerifier uses this class to verify tokens appearing in the custom xsrfKey JSON request property. The tokens protect against cross-site request forgery by depending upon the browser's security model. The classic browser security model prohibits a script from site A from reading any data received from site B. By sending unforgeable tokens from the server and asking the client to return them to us, the client script must have had read access to the token at some point and is therefore also from our server.
