Hi Larry, Your immediate problem can be solved by escaping it (##) AND assigning it to another variable. Use this:
<cfset encryptString = "2&:G&R4G5_,3++Q]##9:N+?)N4"> <br>#Decrypt(encryptString,"7xxT533zrt3d9in")# I have tried and it worked. But just a suggestion, you might want to work with "GenerateSecretKey" or "hash". (For more info, consult the livedocs). Thanks & Regards, Phyo Pine Information Systems Specialist DMV - ODOT -----Original Message----- From: Stephens, Larry V [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 27, 2006 1:51 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Encrypt Decrypt I'm using a simple encrypt statement to store info: #Encrypt(SESSION.Customer.xxx, GetX.Item)#', (this is from my INSERT statement) GetX.Item is the key loaded from a table. (I don't profess to be an expert in encryption (obviously) but, other than being a little obtuse in the code, I don't know how to hide the key any better on a server I don't control. I'm certainly open to suggestion.) Hiding the key aside, my decryption routine looks like (I'm moving it to another table that is secure): FieldX = '#Decrypt(FieldSaved, GetX.Item)#', where aaa is the data retrieved from the table and GetX.Item is the same key. And it works, (e.g., decrypting 0&Z[ STK6_,;)*!I+!/ )until the encrypted data looks like 3&JG$P5[0]<;!/QM#!O So, I played with it a bit and it became obvious that the problem is the # imbedded in the encrypted data. What now? I can't escape it (##) because that throws an error, too. To illustrate what seems to be happening: <!--- this works ---> <cfset x=Encrypt("730072022000SerNum","7xxT533zrt3d9in")> <cfoutput> #x# <!--- this will be: 2&:G&R4G5_,3++Q]#9:N+?)N4 ---> <br />#Decrypt(x,"7xxT533zrt3d9in")# <!--- run routine then uncomment next line and run again ---> <!---<br />#Decrypt("2&:G&R4G5_,3++Q]#9:N+?)N4 ","7xxT533zrt3d9in")#>---> </cfoutput> Larry Stephens [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:230637 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
