req.signedCookies

A dictionary containing all the signed cookies from the request object, where a signed cookie is one that is protected against modification by the client. This protection is provided by a Base64-encoded HMAC of the cookie value. When retrieving the cookie, if the HMAC signature does not match based on the cookie's value, then the cookie is not available as a member of the req.signedCookies object.
