Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Systems and methods can secure against cross-site request forgery using client-side token storage. A client browser can initiate an action associated with a first web service and generate a token. The token may be stored in client-side storage at the computing device. An indicator of the action may also be stored within the client-side storage. A return link, associated with a passed copy of the token, may be generated. The client may perform the redirect and return to the first web service according to the return link. The passed copy of the token can be extracted from the return link. The indicator of the action and the stored token may be loaded from the client storage. The passed copy of the token and the stored token may be compared. The action according to the indicator of the action may be performed in response to the comparison matching.
