The standard http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/csrf/ CSRF protection middleware does something like that. Don't know details but could look there. If you're gonna 1way hash things such as 'id' and worry about speed then store the 1way hashed value in database and do your lookups on that. -- Norman J.
