If you'd like to coordinate this, I'd definitely be glad to hear from
them.  As it stands I think your complaint boils down to the lack of
server-side invalidation of a session.  Most everything else flows
from that.  I'm not sure that there's a shared nothing way to take
care of that, but the crypto experts would know for sure.

Please do investigate having someone conduct a review.
