    hi!

    i am building a web application. for client authentication, i am using
    cookies which include the HMAC of the data.
    the server also has a public/private key pair for signing and verifying
    information.
    my question is how should these be stored on the server? encryption is the
    best solution, but if i encrypt them with another key, the question is
    where does this key get stored?

    thanks

    cheers
    ajay
