ValidateAntiForgeryToken
MVC's anti-forgery support writes a unique value to an HTTP-only cookie and then the same value is written to the form. When the page is submitted, an error is raised if the cookie value doesn't match the form value.
It's important to note that the feature prevents cross site request forgeries. That is, a form from another site that posts to your site in an attempt to submit hidden content using an authenticated user's credentials. The attack involves tricking the logged in user into submitting a form.
The feature doesn't prevent any other type of data forgery or tampering based attacks.
To use it, decorate the action method or controller with the ValidateAntiForgeryToken attribute and place a call to HtmlHelper.AntiForgeryToken in the forms posting to the method.
