Just not acquainted with them, and my métier is servers and networks

The linux.org.uk portaloo does the following
state = [array of things we need to remember] + timestamp
md5sum (state, secret)
cookie = md5result + state
that gives you rather hard to fake browser kept state very easily
Alan, thanks for the feedback and the comments. Would you mind going
into a little more 1-2-3 detail here? I can understand the *concept* of
what you are saying, but am utterly helpless to move forward with it
given my current level of knowledge.
I've been wanting to do this for *months* and simply don't have anywhere
near the skillset required, which is why I decided to outsource it or
get help with it.
Any comments welcome... but please, do take into account that as far as
PHP and friends go I am still at Level 1.
Thanks!
