In computer network security, session fixation attacks attempt to exploit the vulnerability of a system that allows one person to fixate (find or set) another person's session identifier.
An access token is generated by the logon service when a user logs on to the system and the credentials provided by the user are authenticated against the authentication database.

CGI then uses the session ID to ensure session continuity between transaction phases. One advantage of one connection-per-phase is that it works well over ...
Session IDs, also known as session tokens, are one mechanism that can be used to help avoid replay attacks. The way of generating a session ID works as follows.
