    cookies from those that have been edited or created by a malicious user.

    This module allows you to determine whether a cookie presented by a
    client was created in its current state by your own application.

  Implementation
    HashedCookies adds a keyed cryptographic hash to each cookie that your
    application creates, and checks every client-provided cookie for a valid
    hash.

    This is done in a transparent way such that you do not need to change
    any application code that handles cookies when using this plugin. A
    cookie that fails to contain a valid hash will still be available to
    your application through "$c->request->cookie()".

    Two additional methods within the Catalyst request object allow you to
    check the status (in other words, the vailidity) of your cookies.

METHODS
