Serialize User Info in a Protected Cookie NuGet Package

An HttpModule that will serialize user information to a chunked protected cookie (with MachineKey) and deserialize on every request to a ClaimsPrincipal.

Usage:

var user = new List<KeyValuePair<string, object>>
{
new KeyValuePair<string, object>("name", "John Foo"),
new KeyValuePair<string, object>("id", "1234"),
new KeyValuePair<string, object>("email", "[email protected]")
};

ClaimsCookieModule.Instance.CreateSessionSecurityToken(user);

That's it.

Now, you will be able to access the user claims like this:

((IClaimsIdentity)User.Identity).Claims

The cookie will be chunked in multiple cookies to avoid hitting a limit if you are storing lots of user info and it will be deflated and protected with the machine key.
