I know I beat security like a dead horse, but.... If my app generates a menu specific to the user, i.e., a project list that they belong to, then instead of creating a link to the project.do?id=25, do you think it would be secure enough if I passed a huge "certificate" instead that had an hour time limit on it? The link would instead be:
project.do?id=AJEIKL46642K32343OIN4 (Where the project uid is hashed with a timestamp and their role as the param) I know some developers use it when they are securing sites that span multiple servers, but for this, it would prevent redundant db access at best.
