// This middleware provides Cross-Site Request Forgery
// protection.
//
// It securely generates a masked (unique-per-request) token that
// can be embedded in the HTTP response (e.g. form field or HTTP header).
// The original (unmasked) token is stored in the session, which is inaccessible
// by an attacker (provided you are using HTTPS). Subsequent requests are
// expected to include this token, which is compared against the session token.
// Requests that do not provide a matching token are served with a HTTP 403
// 'Forbidden' error response.
