While using Hawk for authentication (bug 962831) we need to check nonces in a robust way to prevent replay attacks. We will already have a timestamp expiration; nonce checking is a way to limit replays before the timestamp expires. We need to use something like redis to store the nonce temporarily (until the timestamp expires) to reject duplicate nonces.

nonce checking with Django cache is implemented here: https://github.com/mozilla/apk-signer/commit/5acae04643f943b1c6d5f5ea695bd8bf48a20eeb Right now it uses memory cache but once we have memcache (bug 976729) it should work just the same
