Article on Developer Center
Just found out my latest article has been published up on the Adobe Developer Center:
Using ColdFusion 8 Ajax security features
It is mainly a rehash of things I've said it before, but I think it's a nice summary of the features. Let me know what you think.

Looking at that comment before mine (first one) I think an article on blog security wouldn't go amiss! ;-) Well, anti-spam at least.

Spot on!
Another reason why I subscribe to your blog Ray. I'm currently building a web 2.0 site which makes extensive use of cfajaxproxy and the other CF8 Ajax tags. I had completely missed the verifyClient functionality when using the documentation. I recognised early on that Ajax functionality suddenly opens the site to lots of different exploits - scraping, brute force hacking etc. I was going to implement my own verification system but wasn't quite sure what approach to take.
This inbuilt functionality is great. Another reason why CF8 is the complete package..
Thanks for blogging about this Ray and writing the security article.

@Ray, good stuff. I definitely had never even heard of VerifyClient() before. The JSON prefix thing sounds familiar, but that entire article was basically news to me :)

Awesome... as usual, I find I have not delved deeply enough into the tags I'm using, Thanks Ray!
