Well I can think of a number of reasons why. Maybe he needs to hide things like ID values from the user. In some environments you can "spoof" yourself into data that you are not supposed to be able to see just by manipulating the parameters. As to how you go about doing that here... uhm... I donno.

Please...Who in their right mind would put something like a social security number in a URL?

Putting a login ID in the URL would be no problem....just encrypt the password. I still don't see any reason for encrypting URLs.
