Open Stack

Hi Lance:

We may try cache or other setting to test fernet token in future.



Mentioned the uuid as default token, it must remind there have a big reason
to solve uuid performance issue, with the implement of pkitoken.



Openstack API using restful protocol, which built on top of Http, but these
API can be re-encapsulated by the Web Console to protect the Token from
internet. The deployment of the environment is higher security than the Web
application which exposed on internet.

Therefore, the risk of leakage of Token is lower than Web Application, and
the risk of Token leakage due to PKI Token revocation delay can be reduced
by corresponding security measures.
