Can I randomize Joomla/K2 article URLs?

I am looking for a way to add a random string/value to all Joomla article URLs. The reason for this is that people will be able to access URLs provided they have the link to the content however they should not be able to get at other content by substituting the article id in the URL (i.e: index.php/category/1, index.php/category/2).

Regardless of alias text placing the article id onto the url with url rewriting enabled will access the article. I am using the K2 component so would be applying this to K2 articles (Items).

I had thought about hard coding the alias to a random value on article creation but this won't solve the issue. Even a way of obfuscating the URL should work, although the plugins I tried for Joomla only do external links.
