ASVS 5.0 V7.3.2: Set an Absolute Maximum Session Lifetime
ASVS V7.3.2 requires an absolute session lifetime so even an active session eventually forces reauthentication. Store the creation time and enforce it server side.
Deep dives, practical guides, and incident analyses from engineers who build Safeguard. No fluff, no vendor FUD — just what you need to ship secure software.
ASVS V7.3.2 requires an absolute session lifetime so even an active session eventually forces reauthentication. Store the creation time and enforce it server side.
ASVS V7.3.1 requires an inactivity timeout that forces reauthentication based on risk. Store last activity on the server and test it with a clock you control.
ASVS V7.2.4 requires a fresh session token on authentication and reauthentication, and the old one must die. Prevent session fixation with a few lines and a test.
ASVS V7.2.3 requires unique reference session tokens from a CSPRNG with at least 128 bits of entropy. Learn the right calls in common languages and how to test.
ASVS V7.2.2 bans static API secrets as session tokens. Use generated, expiring tokens, and scan your repositories to prove no long lived key stands in for a login.
ASVS V7.2.1 says session token checks must run on a trusted backend service, never in client code. See how to centralize verification and prove it.
When SSO or another identity provider creates sessions, ASVS V7.1.3 wants every session creating system listed with how lifetimes and logout are coordinated.
ASVS V7.1.2 wants your documentation to say how many parallel sessions one account may hold and what happens at the limit. A short policy and a test make it provable.
ASVS V7.1.1 asks you to write down your idle timeout and absolute session lifetime, and to justify any gap from NIST SP 800-63B. Here is what to record and how to prove it.
