You can’t. And before someone suggests using POST, that doesn’t really hide anything. It’s trivial to use Wireshark, Firebug, etc. either way.
Any communication between the user’s machine and your server, in either direction, encrypted or unencrypted, can be monitored by the user.
EDIT: An alternative is to generate a unique GUID or session identifier, then keep track of the meaning on the server. This is not encryption, but it may serve the desired purpose.
