How does facebook applications return data?

I am trying to build a middleware application that functions in between the user and a facebook application. The middleware application will not send actual user info to the thirdparty app. Instead, it will send an encrypted value to the facebook application. The facebook app will make use of the encrypted value and return some sort of info(like the score of each of the user's friends) based on the encrypted data. The middleware will then decrypt the info and send it back to the user.

Is it possible to build a middleware app like this that will intercept the data going into the app and will in turn send the encrypted values?

I don't think this is possible and even if it is possible, I'm 100% sure it's illegal!

You want to intercept the data between the Facebook user and the Facebook application without:

  1. Facebook permission
  2. The User permission (since your middleware is not a FB app.)
  3. The Application (for example "Mafia wars" based on your comment)

ALSO "modifying" the data sent to the application from the user will break the application because it won't be the data the app is expecting!
