> Currently there is little to no documentation on the structure and use of
> security tokens in Shindig. A lot of questions come through on the dev list
> about security tokens and the information they contain and we have no common
> set of resources to point people to. I'd like to create documentation to
> cover the following topics and add it to the wiki:
> - The role of security tokens, both container and gadget
> - What information should be in a security token
> - How and when that information is used
> - How to secure security tokens via encryption
> - How security tokens get refreshed, both container and gadget
> - Gotchas that could leave your app insecure (e.g. how tokens can be
> compromised and what the impact could be)
> If there's any other information that should be included, feel free to leave
> a suggestion.
