Hi, I know this might be a bit off track here but I will ask anyway... I was
just reading jdoc pages for the HttpSession object and I was wondering is
the unique session ID created by the getID() method a semi-random ID or is
it just some trivial time dependent randomness or a function of the previous
ID? How secure cryptographicaly is it? (yeah it is a pretty stupid question
but what I mean is... do you need a Cray SV1 to find the patern for the
number creation or can you just do it by hand in an hour or something?)
Does anyone know a way to generate more random numbers for session ids if
the ones getID( ) generates are not random?


Stou
