If someone manages to determine the secret ID then it fails. What about signing a combination of part of the message (likely some hash) and the user ID. This would create a secret ID, but one which if stolen can be shown to be false since trying to recreate the signature with their ID and the message would fail. Hash collisions between different messages are still a concern, but aren't their known solutions to that problem that can be implemented in combination?

Can't you just use a whitelist of allowable characters?
