I do not encrypt all values in my forms (I do for URLs though). The reason I
encrypt some form field values and not others is that they are not all
important if altered by a malicious user...

For instance. If I have a text box, I do not need to encrypt a date... My
checks to ensure that the text supplied in that field is a date will take
care of that. I encrypt important values that are used within queries:

SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE someId = Decrypt(form.idfield,"key")

This hides the type of values I am using to build the query with and it also
limits the data that is exposed to the end user.
