If you're still reading then I assume you might be interested to know that
BlueDragon 6.1 implements a key-based encryption mechanism for creating
BlueDragon Archives (BDA) as an alternative to CFENCODE/CFENCRYPT. When you
create a BDA, you can provide a key to encrypt the archive; only people who
register your BDA with your key via the BlueDragon admin console are able to
read it. (If you don't provide a key then the archive is encrypted using a
default key built-in to BlueDragon--this is much less secure than providing
your own key). You have the option of creating a single BDA with a single
key to give your customers; or, to be even more secure, you can create a
separate BDA with a separate key per customer.
Another advantage of the BDA is that it allows you to deploy your
application (CFML pages, CFCs, custom tags, etc.) as a single file.
This BDA feature isn't enabled in the current BlueDragon 6.1 beta (beta2)
because we're still tweaking it. It will be available in the next beta
(beta3) in a few weeks; look for an announcement to this list if you're
interested in this feature.

Subject: ENCRYPT EXE Question
Ok,
I know the version of encrypt has been broken for years (ie, programs
available online to decrypt the encrypted files)...but has anyone bothered
to see if the version in the latest MX 6.1 is any better. Is it possible to
pass a cipher key to ensure unique encryption that could then not be hacked
as easily as the old version. Or is it possible that they never even
bothered to upgrade it at all and no matter what I do it will always be able
to be decrypted?
