[key] obfuscator plugin for ColdFusion on Wheels - DISCONTINUED

Lobot - Discontinued

This plugin is currently discontinued and will not be updated anymore.

What is it?

Lobot is a [key] obfuscator plugin for ColdFusion on Wheels. This plugin offer a more secure solution to protect your application by obfuscating the [key]. The plugin create a hash of the [key] which is then encrypted with the [key] itself. On each request, the [key] is decrypted and compared to the hash value. If the comparison fails the action is aborted, otherwise the decrypted [key] is restored in the params struct.

Benefits of using this plugin:

• The [key] is encrypted along with the hash value for comparison
• If the comparison is successfull: the [key] is restored in the params struct
• If the comparison fails: the action is aborted
• The obfuscated [key] is impossible to guess and tampering with it will abort the action
• Based on "How to protect sensitive data in URL's"
