NAME Dancer2::Session::Cookie - Dancer 2 session storage in secure cookies VERSION version 0.005 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 SUPPORT Bugs / Feature Requests Please report any bugs or feature requests through the issue tracker at .
