Summary

Cookie tampering attacks involve altering client-side session cookie data to facilitate unauthorized access or identity theft, occurring when web applications use unencrypted cookies to store session data. Azion's Signed Cookies solution helps prevent such attacks by using edge functions to generate and validate signed cookies, ensuring cookies are not manipulated on the client side. The process involves activating the necessary solutions on Azion's marketplace, creating instances of "Signed Cookies - Hash Generator" and "Signed Cookies - Hash Validator" functions, and integrating them into the application's Rules Engine. This integration enables the application to detect cookie manipulations, add request headers to flag violations, and execute preventive actions like denying access when violations occur, thus enhancing security against cookie tampering.
