  If you're just doing this to avoid Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) problems, then perhaps something like Hashids might be a better choice?

  If you can use a string, then Markus Ullmark's hashids.net library would be a good place to start.

• Does anyone know of a modern, DotNet7/C#10 implementation of this article, which covers tamper-proof hidden fields? They are exceedingly useful for CRUD forms which need to hold - but should never allow modification of - certain values, but I haven’t found an appropriate upgrade path.

  You could use this approach along with this package https://github.com/ullmark/hashids.net

• UUIDs to Prevent Enumeration Attacks
  1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 13 Jun 2022

  Another way to solve enumeration attacks is to use a two-way hashing algorithm to convert your auto-incrementing integer IDs to a hash of arbitrary length. This is essentially what YouTube is doing with their video IDs and it's a low-CPU, low-complexity solution that prevents/severely deters enumeration attacks.

  Here is one such library for C# https://github.com/ullmark/hashids.net
