Assuming we're talking about login access:
1) We are talking about access control, so encryption is just fine.
2) Skey isn't encryption. Hashing isn't encryption, either.
Now, if you extrapolate, and you want to provide a private link, oops,
you're now talking about encryption. The way I read the rules, that's not
legal .. even if no key is involved (for example, you can easily make a
session minimally secure just by compressing its data).
