hi there all,

Have developed a system for a client where various online forms are
passed between staff internally in the company as well as suppliers
and external people,

each form has 2 different views, one to view a form submission, and
another to view and edit a form submission (manager normally does
this)

All links to the forms include a MD5 hash which presently offers some
security to the page that displays the form.

Problem is that these links are sent out via email to people that
staff want to view the forms, and the pages are 'public' if you have
the link to view them (with the hash)

The client wants to know is there a way to make it more secure without
forcing a username / password security feature on the system ...as the
ability to click on a link in an email to go through to the form works
efficiently...

basically wanting to increase the security...

would placing these forms on a secure server provide this?

ie instead of http://www.client.co.nz/form.php?hash=hgs8ohsduogh8s37h

have: https://www.client.co.nz/form.php?hash=hdjgklsheugehsukl

I am thinking all this does, is encrypt the contents of the page...but
the links are still public domain...and accessible by anyone with the
link....

any other advice / suggestions?
