You can also use cfinclude and cfsavecontent to read the file, which is

Using CFFILE and supplying an absolute path. The content of the file

How do you read something that is above web root?
And to destroy it, do you just stick it in a var then overwrite the var with
when done?

I should mention that I only store stuff in Application.cfm when I am

I recently had the same situation come up and ended up choosing the
security-by-obscurity approach. I generated a key as you did and
stored it in a file outside of the web root. I read the key as
needed and destroy it to keep it out of memory. I'd be interested in
how others handled this

The correct answer to your question really depends on the specifics of
the job at hand. If, for example, you are storing account login
passwords I would say that a salted hash is a mighty good option, if

If you use Encrypt, you will need the same key to Decrypt the data back.
There are multiple types of encryption that CF supports, so you may want to

You may want to look up the ideas of adding an additional string to your
