Apparantly the ciper is known, and the key can be easily reverse engineered.
Best use revolving keys with it if you're concerned about security.

However there are some really good encryption ciphers available from the
developers exchange.

Stuff like RC4, Sha256, MD5, Ripemd160, rot13 are all available as
functions.  I can send you the cf functions if u like...

How insecure is encrypt first of all.  Second of all how do I know the
length of the string encrypted?

Thanks,
