Abstract
A method is used in validating association of client devices with sessions. Information of a client device executing a user agent is gathered by a server for creating a device identifier for the client device upon receiving a request from the user agent for establishing a session between the user agent and the server. The device identifier includes information identifying the client device. The device identifier is associated with the session. The client device is validated by the server upon receiving subsequent requests from the client device during the session. Validating the client device includes gathering information of the client device sending each subsequent request for creating a device identifier for the client device and comparing the device identifier created from the information gathered during each subsequent request with the device identifier associated with the session.
