Currently, Gramex keys use Tornado signed cookies to represent a user object, and log in as that user.

An alternative is JSON Web Tokens.

The only advantage this has is that it's a more popular standard than Tornado's cookies, so users without access to Python/Tornado can still create users.

However, the need for this is limited to developers automating Gramex app testing with authentication, which is not too common.
