Which Offer More Security: Cookie Or Session?

felipevianna
Which is more popular: Cookie or Session...

Which offers more security for login?
I believe that it is the Session because it is not thus stored in the machine not being able to be had access by others. It is also simpler of being used because we do not need in worrying them about header informations

However I am sincere in saying that I use more cookie.... I do not know why! smile.gif

What do you think?

It's always best to go with sessions than cookies. Oh, so i've heard.

OfCourse Sessions, As it said cookies can be modified easily.

Session can also modified but requires more efforts but if you do session properly then it is pretty secure.

Also, it depends how you implements session in your server....!!!


Thanks

    I saw this white paper and I thought I bring down some interesting information that has come from
    2007 and leading into 2008. I have to say though that the information on this white paper is pretty
    darn mind blowing as I bounce some facts to everyone. Of course since I been getting into this
    since last year it is not all that surprising since I posted many topics about it as well.

    The Galapagos Art Space had a break in and almost lost items valued at about $300,000. However
    this theft was not what you would expect. It was not some famous painting, or a sculpture or
    anything else most thieves would steal, it was the security equipment that was supposed to stop
    them. The building was undergoing renovations to make it eco-friendly when the theives entered
    through a hole under the door sometime after 6pm on Jan 15. The next morning workers found the

    Well I have to same I am bit surprise on this security flaw especially what it can do; in which all
    a user has to do is open a malicious Excel document and it allows the hackers to execute remote code
    on to your system. As far as how wide spread this vulnerability is, it hits every excel software
    from Excel 2000 to Excel 2003 SP2, and it also includes the Mac Version of Excel 2004 as well. OF
    course with the disappointment of Office 2007 by some people will still be running the 2003 versions
    on their computers. Right now the attacks are minimal and the question for t ....

    Well, today I learned in my school (I'm in 9th grade) that the network has no security at all.
    Most public schools, as I have learned, don't protect themselves, they hire somebody when
    something goes wrong. I believe this is truly wrong. I was in the Computer Lab doing an important
    test over the Net, and the internet go shutdown. Apparently somebody hacked it. They didn't have
    access to it until they called the Network Security guy down to fix it. This is pretty bad. What do
