Hi! I tried to figure out, how to create HTTP session, that are not so easy to hijack. So I think about that mechanisms: * Using HTTPs * Randomize HTTP session IDs * Only create HTTP session ID after login * HTTP session ID joined with IP and SSL session ID * Block all session ID usings, that do'nt match IP and SSL session ID * Set HTTP session timeout * Expire HTTP session after logout Is that all? Is there any mechanism, that isn't a good idea?
