Sounds like a better idea, yes. Obviously it still would be suspect to a
number of attacks, but if each UDP packet should carry some kind of secret
token (it could be found by sniffers though) you could automaticly discard
all other UDP-packets, as they are obiously forged.

It just might work. Future attacks may involve sniffers etc, but IMHO it
seems to be enough to solve todays problems.
