Description: Flask-KVSession is a drop-in replacement for `Flask
        <http://flask.pocoo.org>`_'s signed cookie-based session management. Instead of
        storing data on the client, only a securely generated ID is stored on the
        client, which the actual session data resides on the server.
        
        This has two major advantages:
        
        * Clients no longer see the session information
        * It is possible to securely destroy sessions. Even if the session cookie is
          copied, it is no longer possible to use it as a valid session.
        
        Other things are possible with server side session that are impossible with
        clients side sessions, like inspecting and manipulating data in absence of the
        client. The drawback is that sessions need to be stored. Flask-KVSession uses
        the simplekv-package for storing session data on a variety of backends.
        
        Integration with Flask is seemless, once the extension is loaded for a Flask
        application, it transparently replaces (or rather, extends) Flask's own Session
        class for this instance. Any application working with sessions should work the
        same with Flask-KVSession.
