PHP Session Security

My talk for php|works, PHP Session Security, is now online.

As with most of my talks, the slides only provide a vague outline. I hope to offer a more useful resource for session security (similar to the PHP Security Workbook) sometime soon.

Great information. Do you know of any libraries or classes that centralize session management and provide features like those you discussed in your talk?

If not what would such a thing look like?

I haven't had a chance to review this implementation yet, but it looks like it might be the type of thing you're looking for.

If you do use it or review the implementation in any way, please let everyone know what you think.

Style Guide

Line breaks are converted to paragraphs. Also use:

  • <a href="" title="">text</a>1
  • <em>text</em>
  • <blockquote><p>text</p></blockquote>
  • <code>2  <?php  if ($foo) {      $foo = TRUE;  }  ?></code>
  1. Note: <code> can be used inline (e.g. in paragraphs) or in a block as shown. Include whitespace and newlines in blocks.

Please enter Chris (my first name) below. This is a primitive spam prevention technique, and I apologize for the inconvenience.
