This class can generate and validate tokens against CSRF attacks.

It creates a random token based on the current user IP address, browser identification.

The generated token is stored in a session variable that may include the name of the form on which the token will be used.

The class can also validate the generated token passed via a form field or a link parameter to verify if it matches the token stored in the session variable.
