Sessions in ASP & ASP.Net

The session ID is a read-only value that uniquely identifies the current clients to the Web server.

In classic ASP, session IDs are assigned in a sequential manner-the session ID 706616433 is followed by the session ID 706616434, and so on. The classic ASP session ID is stored on the client's machine in the form of an encrypted nonpersistent cookie. For example, the session ID 706616434 would be stored on the client machine as the cookie ASPSESSIONIDGQQGQGCS=JHMBOBKCBINEHLPKJHOPABBE.

ASP.NET has made a few changes to the session ID. When using ASP.NET, the session ID is a 120-bit string consisting of URL-legal ASCII characters
