Then you switch from needing to store a session ID in a database to needing to store and manage a private key. Not only that, but I can't imagine the ending size being less than the 160-bits needed for SHA1 (or 256 or 512 bits, if you want more secure hashes). I'll continue looking for a solution that's better than cookies + secure ID + database.
