I consider two approaches but hopefully someone can propose something much better:
1. keeping login name in a permamnent cookie (ciphered of course)
pros
- simple
cons
- not secure enough
2. keep a temporary generated key to login name in cookie
pros
- can be more secure
cons
- requires an extra table and an extra query or join
Which approach would you choose?
 
For my next feat, I will require a volunteer from the audience! Perhaps this tiny ad?
