> In the implementation of X509Token Authentication
> The auth_value is enrypted with the certificate within the keystore and
> during verification encrypted auth value is decrypted with the private key
> compared against the orignial auth value.
> This implementation is prone to replay attacks, that is
> any user with out having any knowledge of the auth value can join the group
> by replaying the enrypted auth value captured in earlier sessions.
