Chris,
The best way would then have to be in sessions.  Your only other options
would be cookies (not secure) or as a url string (not secure).

There is the possibility of posting from a form on the one page to a
form on the other frame.  This is complicated, and may not work for your
app.

Just my two cents.

What would people recommend as the best way to pass sensitive data
between
frames? The frames are separate web sites hosted on the same machine.

(if it matters it's IIS)
