Here is the sample you required, this check the request contains the authenticationtoken then only allow to execute the request. you can here check your session is available to check user logged in or not.

public class CustomAuthorize : System.Web.Http.AuthorizeAttribute
{
    public override void OnAuthorization({
           System.Web.Http.Controllers.HttpActionContext actionContext)
    private readonly string Resource {get; set; }base.OnAuthorization(actionContext);
        if (actionContext.Request.Headers.GetValues("authenticationToken") != null)
            string authenticationToken =public Convert.ToStringCustomAuthorize(
           string resource, string actionContext.Request.Headers.GetValues("authenticationToken").FirstOrDefault()action);
            //authenticationTokenPersistant{
            // it is saved in someResource data= storeresource;
            // i will compare the authenticationToken sent byAction client= withaction;
            // authenticationToken persist in database against specific user, and act accordingly}
          public override ifvoid OnAuthorization(authenticationTokenPersistant != authenticationToken)
            {
                HttpContextSystem.CurrentWeb.ResponseHttp.AddHeader("authenticationToken",Controllers.HttpActionContext authenticationTokenactionContext);
                HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("AuthenticationStatus", "NotAuthorized");{
                actionContext.Response = actionContext.Requestbase.CreateResponseOnAuthorization(HttpStatusCode.ForbiddenactionContext);
                return;
            }

 //Check your post authorization logic using Resource HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("authenticationToken",and authenticationToken);Action
        HttpContext.Current.Response.AddHeader("AuthenticationStatus", "Authorized");
   //Your logic here to return return;
authorize or unauthorized response }
    actionContext.Response = 
      actionContext.Request.CreateResponse(HttpStatusCode.ExpectationFailed);}
    actionContext.Response.ReasonPhrase = "Please provide valid inputs";
}
