Cookie Security ============= Here’s another example of why Laravel is a clever little monkey. A user can edit the cookies stored within the browser. If your cookie was somehow important to your website, you wouldn’t want the user to interfere with it. We need to make sure that our cookies aren’t tampered with. Fortunately, Laravel signs our cookies with an authentication code, and encrypts them so that our users can’t read the cookies or edit them. If a cookie is tampered with, and the authentication code isn’t what Laravel expects, then it will be ignored by Laravel. Isn’t that clever?
