I was starting to suspect that. Thank you! JOR wrote: Referrer's can be faked.

[Flashcoders] Flash Game - Post Encrypted Score to server side script
Hello: I'm developing a small flash game for a website. Users must register and log-in before they're allowed to post their scores to the back-end. Nevertheless I don't want to have the scores posted in a simple way, because someone could easily, sign up, log-in, and then post a higher score without even playing the game. My idea is to encrypt the score using some algorithm in ActionScript, something that I can reproduce in PHP on the server side. I don't want them to be able to read an encrypted score and then try similar strings in order to get a higher score by chance. I think the encrypted string should have a check digit or character or something so it auto-validates. Do you know of anywhere I could start reading? or perhaps get an encryption algorithm that I can use?

Do you know of anywhere I could start reading? or perhaps get an encryption algorithm that I can use? I use MD5 on my stuff at www.thecodezone.com (which sounds similar to what you're trying to do, give it a try). MD5 is built into PHP, so that's easy. A quick google-search will find you a couple of Actionscript and/or Javascript implementations. ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com

You can also try checking the HTTP referrer in PHP to make sure people can only post data to your PHP script from your page on your site.
