Most things are possible but you seem to be making an awful lot of extra work for yourself doing it this way. Just put a record in the DB and flag it at inactive till they confirm via the email. If you're worried about the number of inactive entries, use a time stamp to expire them after a period of time.

I am trying to force a Email Confirmation for new user registrations on my site. The user Enters only basic info on the website, First Name, Last Name, Email Address. Then they should be taken to a page that stops them from going ahead until they click a link in the email. Problem: I want to do it in such a manner that I don't create a db record for them at all, until they have clicked the link. Is it possible to Encrypt the entire string consisting of FirstName, LastName, EmailAddress, and Promotional Code, Attach it the link in the email, then when the user clicks the link, we Decrypt the string, separate the partts and do a db insert? If so, are there any pitfalls or problems in doing so? Which Encryption Algorithm would the best to use?
