Thank you so much for this information. It took me some hours to figure out how to by pass the “Security Validation” exception using the AllowUnsafeUpdates property. I was not quite happy with this solution though, so I used a few more hours searching for more information. Fortunately I came by your post. I am sure you just saved me ten hours of work. I really appriciate that you made your observations available to your visitors.

In my situation I had an .aspx page embedding a SharePoint WebPart. I got the “Security Validation” exception because the ASPX page didn’t define the FormDigest element. The solution was – as you mentioned – to create an instance of the Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.FormDigest WebControl and simply output it using the Render method.

It turned out that meera was building a regular ASP.NET application not running inside SharePoint, which was using the SharePoint object model. Well in this case you need to manually put a FormDigest control to your pages to be able to use SPUtility.ValidateFormDigest()
