This is a partial fix for issue
e-mission/e-mission-docs#628
The new method assumes that all tokens are prefixed by a shared secret between
the server and the client. This means that all tokens have two parts both of which are validated by the method.
phone ensures that users can only see their own data.
ensures that users can only connect to the server from authorized clients,
which in this case, are smartphone apps that embed the secret.
Testing done:
configured the webserver to use the secret method
configured one valid secret
"FOOBAR"
configured the same valid secret as the phone
"REPLACEME"
