How secure is data stored in cookies? I use cookies to handle user
authentication and session management. But I understand that cookies can
be modified by users and perhaps they can pretend being someone else.
I store the UserID on my cookies to display the corresponding user
information. What precautions can I take to protect the other users of
my site from this kind of breach?
Thanks in advance..
