Re: simple solution?

True. I posted without reading the complete PDF (my bad), and was thinking about embedded images or similar. The referer would not be easily faked in those cases, and it is yet another layer of protection that can be easily deployed without rewriting entire websites.

simple solution ?

wouldn´t just denying execution of local dynamic scripts from external referers be enough to protect the sites ?
