Hi All!

I have some difficulties with figuring out how to secure the following
situation:
Imagine a game applet where the user sends back it's highscore to my server.
I don't want the user to make up his own score and send that one back to my
score processing script on the server... I want to make sure that the score
send is the one that came from the original applet I issued (I keep track of
the game session & user id on the server side, but those are passed as
parameters to the applet, which the user could easily intercept)... Does
anyone know how this is could be done?

Thank in advance!
