>one-way "encrypts" (hashs) are more secure Not disagreeing, but just so you know, I downloaded a small exe yesterday that cracked an MD5 hash in 3.5 minutes, using my old 2Ghz workstation.

You can encrypt/decrypt data in between envoirments if they use the same algorithm. Checkout CF documentations to see avaiable algorithms. Also, if it's possible by your functional needs (not on the CC case, probably), one-way "encrypts" (hashs) are more secure, since you encrypt the data and compare the encrypted data (like on a login system).
