CF uses DES for encryption. This is used because it has good performance
while maintaining decent encryption. The "cracker" as you put it simply
decrypts DES. If Allaire were to change the encryption algorithm templates
encrypted by the previous algorithm would no longer work unless the system
first interrogated the file to discover it's encryption method. This would
incur an unacceptable performance hit in high volume applications.
Allaire has stated in the past that encrypting templates does not provide
complete security, but it does provide enough so that the typical user can
not read the plain text. Once someone has uninterrupted access to any code
it is only a matter of time before it is cracked.

Mike,
Have you tested it on 4.51? Haven't had time myself, but am wondering if the
name change in the tag might mean a change in the cracker???
