Keystone Lightweight Tokens

Registered by Lance Bragstad

KLWT tokens provide a way to represent a token, allowing for tokens to be non-persistent. KLWT tokens provide integrity and confidentiality, when optionally using encryption, by being signed by Keystone. KLWT tokens contain some amount of token information, including the user, the issued at time, the expiration time, and the digest of the signed information. Regardless if encryption is used, the tokens are authentic since they are signed and validated by Keystone.
