Regarding access token and refresh token Consider the access token to be a “dirty” token. Token you share a lot. I does not have to be one server you pass the token to, can be many. Because of this the attack surface rises. If one server does something stupid like writing tokens into server logs … Read more

To create a unique token: string token = Convert.ToBase64String(Guid.NewGuid().ToByteArray()); … Read more
the strtok runtime function works like this the first time you call strtok you provide a string that you want to tokenize char s[] = “this is a string”; in the above string space seems to be a good delimiter between words so lets use that: char* p = strtok(s, ” “); what happens now … Read more
In short, yes, that’s a perfectly reasonable thing to do. The best you can do on top of that is obfuscation only. If you keep the token in memory, a root user can peek into that. If you encrypt it, you have to store the encryption key on the device also or you won’t be … Read more

Here’s a simple view that I’m using to log out: from rest_framework import status from rest_framework.response import Response from rest_framework.views import APIView class Logout(APIView): def get(self, request, format=None): # simply delete the token to force a login request.user.auth_token.delete() return Response(status=status.HTTP_200_OK) Then add it to your urls.py: urlpatterns = [ … url(r’^logout/’, Logout.as_view()), ]
