The javascript sample files use a security token in the following format: st=john.doe:john.doe:appid:cont:url:0

To be honest, that's only useful for examples, not for real world applications ... since to be 'secure' it needs to be tamper proof, and clear text clearly is not :)

A real container would create a proper (encrypted) security token with a private key the container / gadget server share, so that the token can be verified for validity. the code you would see in http://code.google.com/p/partuza/source/browse/trunk/Application/Views/gadget/gadget.php is a simple example of how to do that.

Hi Chris,

I checked the script that creates the security token, both in the javascript gadget file as well as the php file. The php version encrypts the token using HMAC and base 64 whereas the security token is used directly in the javascript container gadget file. Now what problem does this difference will cause?
