The Secure Token Handler is a special Handler that create a token for each request and send it to the protected application. The real user identifier is stored in a Memcached server and the protected application can the request the Memcached server to get user identifier.

<p>
This mechanism allow to do <acronym title="Single Sign On">SSO</acronym> on application with an unsafe link between Handler and the application, but with a safe link with the Memcached server.
