[jifty-devel] Re: [Jifty-commit] r1367 - in jifty/trunk: lib/Jifty

[Jesse Vincent]

This isn't really an accurate description of what LetMes do. They
provide a way to generate URLs which

1) validate a the user's identity
2) expose only a specific url or set of urls for access

But they're all about "letting a specific user get at some page or
perform some action" and not so much about confirming identity.
