+        forgive the possibly noobish question. The webapp I'm trying to develop is
+        currently based on sinatra and I'm not sure what the best way to implement
+        secure login feature is. I've found this: http://rubygems.org/gems/sinatra-security
+        project which seems good but it isn't listed on the [official sinatra extensions
+        site](http://www.sinatrarb.com/extensions-wild.html) so I'm not sure if it's
+        legit. \\n\\nThere is a [sessions](http://www.sinatrarb.com/intro#Using%20Sessions)
+        feature in sinatra but I don't think this is any actual security. This is
+        just maintaining a state. \\n\\nI don't need to maintain a state because the
+        app is AJAX based so once a user is on a page all the rest happens in the
+        background. The main concern is how can I securely transfer data between the
+        client and the sinatra app without someone in the middle sniffing the data?
+        And how can I ensure that only authorized users are able to pull data from
+        the sinatra server?\\n\\n**Edit:** Thanks /r/Ruby! It seems like [Warden](https://github.com/hassox/warden/wiki/overview)
