Right now, we + use autoincremented SQL indices in many places in the left-right + protocol, and they're even expose in a few places in our + implementation of the up-down protocol. This is nice and unique but + may be operationally fragile, since up-down usage means that URLs + contain mechanically assigned identifiers rather than an identifier + negotiated between the two parties during contract setup. + + RobK suggested that we should instead use something like a hash of + the client's name, which would be probabilistically unique, would + not expose information, but would be stable even if we had to + rebuild the database. + + STATUS: Not started + + TIME REQUIRED: Two or three days to evaluate. Implementation time + if we decide to make a change unknown, but probably on the order of + a few days. + + PRIORITY: Rethinking desirable; reworking unknown + Things implemented but not yet tested. |
