What are the benefits of trusting any id provided by the user, when creating a new session? Why should we allow users to create their own session id, and maybe pass them around? Or being driven to some session faked/created by someone else? Can we control that a new session id has been effectively issued by us, and only create new session id that we have generated? Gian
