Session management over a stateless protocol
First Claim
1. A method for session management over a stateless protocol, the is method comprising the steps of:
- receiving a request containing a plurality of identifiers;
generating a hash of at least one of said plurality of identifiers;
if said generated hash is incompatible with previously generated hashes;
associating information with said generated hash; and
sending a response based upon information associated with said generated hash; and
if said generated hash is compatible with a previously generated hash, sending a reponse based upon information previously associated with said previously generated hash.

Abstract
A method for session management over a stateless protocol the steps of comparing a first plurality of identifiers contained in a first request with a second plurality of identifiers contained in a second request, and associating the second request with the first request when the comparison is successful. The method may also include the step of calculating a total statistical significance for the plurality of identifiers. The step of associating is performed only when the total statistical significance is greater than a predetermined required significance level. A token for session management over a stateless protocol is formed by digitally hashing a plurality of identifiers contained in a request. The token may have a total significance calculated from a statistical significance associated with each of the plurality of identifiers.

associating a statistical significance value with each of said at least one identifiers;
calculating a total significance for said hash from all of said associated values; and
if said generated hash is incompatible with previously generated hashes;
obtaining a user identification;
associating-said user identification with said generated hash;
wherein said steps of sending a response are performed only when said total statistical significance is greater than a predetermined required significance level, and wherein said response is also based upon said user identification.
