there are quite a few sites out there explaining in detail the ins and outs
of this particular encryption method (its popular).

Subject: Blowfish Encryption in ColdFusion
Hi All,
I hope someone has a potential solution. I'm working with a client. We
need to pass an encrypted string to one of their vendors. The vendor
specified the encryption method (Blowfish) along with the key (aka
passphrase) and an initialization vector (an 8 character string).
After some research I came upon 3 options for Blowfish encryption in
ColdFusion:
CFX_Enigma <http://www.cftagstore.com/index.cfm/page/viewtag/tagId/57>
.. This was our first choice, and they went ahead and bought it. It only
accepts "Java Long Integer" for the initialization vector. The tag spits
up on our string. I e-mailed the developer, but haven't heard anything
back.
cfX_crypt from the developer exchange:
<http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?view=sn131&extID=10005
52#view=sn106&viewName=Exchange%20Search%20Details&loc=en_us&authorid=353425
81&page=0&scrollPos=0&subcatid=0&snid=sn106&itemnumber=0&extid=1003421&catid
=0&extID=1000552>.
I couldn't get CF to find the tag at all. Not sure why, I've never had a
problem installing custom tags before.
cf_encrypt from the developer exchange:
<http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?view=sn131&extID=10005
52#loc=en_us&view=sn131&extID=1000552&viewName=ColdFusion%20Extension&avm=1>
.. This one we decided against because there is no way to get
support. (The web-site link on the page is dead).
So, my first question would be: Are there any other CF-based options?
The second question would be, where do I look next? Are there any good
resources out there for this type of thing?
