Thane, here are my thoughts. If you are not now or in the future going to cluster your app across multiple servers, Session variables would be a better option. They are less coding intensive and providing you pay good attention to locking (using CFLOCK) and garbage collection (for instance killing the vars on log-out) that is the way to go. I have always used Session vars in preference to url vars and have had good success with that (again where I am not clustering).

That way I could avoid the encryption. Which is the better approach?
