### 1. Generating a Token

[](#1-generating-a-token)

Use the `generateToken` method to create a secure token.

```
use Yohns\Security\Finding\Hash;

$token = Hash::generateToken('form-id'); // This value will be used again to validate the token
// add token to form
echo '';
```

---

### 2. Validating a Token

[](#2-validating-a-token)

Verify the validity of a token with the `validateToken` method.

```
use Yohns\Security\Finding\Hash;

$isValid = Hash::validateToken('form-id', $_POST['YohnsPatch']);
if ($isValid) {
	echo 'Token is valid!';
} else {
	echo 'Token is invalid or expired.';
}
```

---

### 3. Garbage Collection

[](#3-garbage-collection)

Remove expired tokens to maintain optimal performance.

```
use Yohns\Security\Finding\Hash;

Hash::garbageCollect();
echo 'Expired tokens removed.';
