Doc Type:	Enhancement
Doc Text:	The Identity service now has an experimental support for a new token format called 'fernet'. The token formats currently supported by the Identity service require issued tokens to be persisted in a database table. This table can grow quite large, which requires proper tuning and a flush job to keep the Identity service performing well. The new 'fernet' token format is designed to allow the token database table to be eliminated, avoiding the problem of this table becoming a scalability limitation. The 'fernet' token format is now available as an experimental feature.

Description RHOS Integration 2015-02-25 00:04:48 EST

Cloned from launchpad blueprint https://blueprints.launchpad.net/keystone/+spec/klw-tokens.

Description:

KLWT tokens provide a way to represent a token, allowing for tokens to be non-persistent. KLWT tokens provide integrity and confidentiality, when optionally using encryption, by being signed by Keystone. KLWT tokens contain some amount of token information, including the user, the issued at time, the expiration time, and the digest of the signed information. Regardless if encryption is used, the tokens are authentic since they are signed and validated by Keystone.
