In a publish farm setup, if there is a need for Closed User Group (CUG) access for protected pages, we would’ve to setup sticky connection in load balancer.
AEM 6.1 introduces a new authentication mechanism using cryptographic token which would allow the authentication cookie to be validated in all publish servers avoiding sticky connections and hence true load balancing.

Seems really interesting, can we have some key code snippets around this concept?
Will post when my time permits 🙂 You know my situation Saurav 🙂
