Following exception is observed in our Production system. Our application is based on ASP.NET MVC using Windows Identity Foundation to federate with ADFS for user authentication:

Any idea what can cause this exception? Any help in troubleshooting this exception would be helpful.
Per my initial analysis, this exception occurs when empty FedAuth cookie(s) is submitted from browser to server. However, I am not able to figure out what would cause FedAuth cookie(s) to go empty rather than expired when a user signs-out of application.
