About CSRF Protection
CSRF (Cross-Site Request Forgery) tokens are security measures used to prevent unauthorized actions on behalf of authenticated users.
How It Works:
- Server generates unique token
- Token sent with form/request
- Server validates token
- Request rejected if invalid
Best Practices:
- Use unique tokens per session
- Regenerate after authentication
- Set expiration time
- Validate on server-side only
Common Use Cases
- Form submissions (POST, PUT, DELETE requests)
- State-changing operations
- API authentication for web applications
- Preventing unauthorized actions
- Session hijacking protection
