Hi there sorry to return back to this, but we are somehow needing to
create a token url that will be generated on the customer's webpage
before the link is redirected to an access script of our clients video
feeds site. What would be the most safest credentials to use to create
a token with and how could the access script decrypt this information
to validate access ? Let me know if this is too vague of a question
thanks.
