That's unfair - there are two things to learn here

1. How does the basics and intricacies of crypto work? acabal can hit up coursera for that, and the cryto guys here will probably help him with his homework for free.

2. How do I implement a user authentication mechanism from scratch? well, thats the one where you cannot learn it. dont try it seems to be the advice.

(in fact the simplest advice is on here too - authenticate once, hand over a random number, look it up at the back end.)

I assume that includes Time it out, count it out and then go read about CSRF protection.
