ASP.NET MVC AntiForgeryToken

I recently came across a new security feature that Microsoft has added to the ASP.NET MVC futures framework to assist in preventing Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) attacks. I was going to write about it, but I did a quick Google search and found a great blog post that gives the appropriate background information, as well as a demonstration of how to prevent CSRF attacks by using the ASP.NET MVC framework.
