Nowadays(is that a word?) a lot of fancy web services use API keys to allow an individual access to a service without requiring a username and password. Google, flickr(I believe), Akismet, so on and so on.
If I wanted to make a Django app that utilized a custom authenticator and my own "API key" what would be the best way to generate unique API keys for my app. Would running a md5/sha sum on username + randomstring + email be safe? Or is that stupid thinking? I apologize if this is the wrong place to ask such a question. I searched google and the mailing list archives and I didn;t see a similar subject anywhere. Thanks in advance for any help and ideas. --Ray --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
