@ -197,6 +197,13 @@ Django 1.4 introduces a new cookie-based backend for the session framework
which uses the tools for :doc:`cryptographic signing </topics/signing>` to
store the session data in the client's browser.
.. warning::
Session data is signed and validated by the server, but is not
encrypted. This means that a user can view any data stored in the
session, but cannot change it. Please read the documentation for
further clarification before using this backend.
See the :ref:`cookie-based session backend <cookie-session-backend>` docs for
