I have set the .ASPXAUTH cookie to be https only but I am not sure how to effectively do the same with the ASP.NET_SessionId.
Of course cookies can be stolen and sessions hijacked, but how secure is the encryption itself of the session cookies (in ASP.NET Identity)? Could it be manipulated with modern hardware and a little bit of time?

I have been banging my head against the wall and searching the web for this but I think I am having issues understanding the whole process of logging users out of an asp.net webforms application. The issue:
I am able to log in to my application and it uses cookies, so I have my cookie set in the browser.

is there any reason (safety?) why someone should rename the ASP.NET Session Cookie Name or is it just a senseless option of ASP.NET?
On Google Chrome (I saw this with version 35 on Windows 8.1, so far I didn’t try other versions) when browser crashes (or you simply unplug power cable…) you’ll be asked to recover previous session when you’ll open it again. Good feature but it will restore session cookies too.
I’ve been searching for an answer to this for a while but the problem seems quite complex and I’m struggling to find an answer.
When using sessions, Flask requires a secret key. In every example I’ve seen, the secret key is somehow generated and then stored either in source code or in configuration file.
I’m a bit confused as to how cookies work with Scrapy, and how you manage those cookies.
