  Description     : implements client-side sessions in encrypted tamper-free
cookies

 This Node.js package provides connect middleware that implements secure
client-side sessions stored in cookies. It encrypts and signs the cookie using
a server key to keep users from reading or modifying the session data.
 .
 Node.js is an event-based server-side JavaScript engine.

This package is a dependency of shiny-server (which will be maintained by the
Debian-science group). As we assume that this package is of broader interest
for the Node.js community we'd like to see it maintained by someone who is more
into Node.js packaging than we are.
