If this is two different servers, and you're running cf on your end, here's
what I'd do:
Build a CF page for them that allows them to create encrypted strings (ie a
form where they type in the string that will be in the url, and it outputs
the encrypted [via encrypt()] string.) Then on your end, you use cfdecrypt
to decrypt the string.
Of course, you could alternately build an encryption algorithm via
javascript, but anyone with half a brain could reverse engineer it.
