How to create (hijacking) secure HTTP sessions?

        Hi!

I tried to figure out, how to create HTTP session, that are not so easy
to hijack.

So I think about that mechanisms:

* Using HTTPs
* Randomize HTTP session IDs
* Only create HTTP session ID after login
* HTTP session ID joined with IP and SSL session ID
* Block all session ID usings, that do'nt match IP and SSL session ID
* Set HTTP session timeout
* Expire HTTP session after logout

Is that all? Is there any mechanism, that isn't a good idea?

Bye,
        Michael
