US Patent 8640216 Systems and methods for cross site forgery protection

The present solution described herein is directed towards systems and methods to prevent cross-site request forgeries based on web form verification using unique identifiers. The present solution tags each form from a server that is served out in the response with a unique and unpredictable identifier. When the form is posted, the present solution enforces that the identifier being returned is the same as the one that was served out to the user. This prevents malicious unauthorized third party users from submitting a form on a user's behalf since they cannot guess the value of this unique identifier that was inserted.
