Securing session data

Session data that is exchanged between the Superset web server and a browser client or internet bot can be encrypted using the SECRET_KEY parameter value present in the superset_config.py file. It uses a cryptographic one-way hashing algorithm for encryption. Since the secret is never included with data the web server sends to a browser client or internet bot, neither can tamper with session data and hope to decrypt it.

Just set its value to a random string of length greater than ten:

SECRET_KEY = 'AdLcixY34P' # random string
