V7.2: Session Management Documentation
V7.2.1
V7.2.1: Verify that the application performs all session token verification using a trusted, backend service.

Verify that the application performs all session token verification using a trusted, backend service.

ASVS Maturity
Not applicable - The control is not applicable for the given scope.
Not implemented / not verified - The control is not implemented or not verified.
Limited implementation - The control is implemented for the most critical parts of the codebase. It is verified either manually (internally or externally) or automatically (using test cases or security automation tooling).
Systematic implementation - The control is systematically implemented and pervasive in the codebase. It is verified either manually (internally or externally) or automatically (using test cases or security automation tooling).
Full implementation - The control is fully implemented for the complete codebase. It is verified either manually (internally or externally) or automatically (using test cases or security automation tooling).
Description

Verify that the application performs all session token verification using a trusted, backend service.

V7.2.2
V7.2.2: Verify that the application uses either self-contained or reference tokens that are dynamically generated for session management, i.e. not using static API secrets and keys.

Verify that the application uses either self-contained or reference tokens that are dynamically generated for session management, i.e. not using static API secrets and keys.

V7.2.3
V7.2.3: Verify that if reference tokens are used to represent user sessions, they are unique and generated using a cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator (CSPRNG) and possess at least 128 bits of entropy.

Verify that if reference tokens are used to represent user sessions, they are unique and generated using a cryptographically secure pseudo-random number generator (CSPRNG) and possess at least 128 bits of entropy.

V7.2.4
V7.2.4: Verify that the application generates a new session token on user authentication, including re-authentication, and terminates the current session token.

Verify that the application generates a new session token on user authentication, including re-authentication, and terminates the current session token.
