* CFMX_COMPAT: Generates a hash string identical to that generated by ColdFusion MX and ColdFusion MX 6.1 (default). * MD5: (Default) Generates a 32-character, hexadecimal string, using the MD5 algorithm (The algorithm used in ColdFusion MX and prior releases). I'd hazard a guess that both are flavors of MD5, but that the difference between them is in how characters in the input are converted to bytes fed into the actual hashing algorithm. Especially since the encoding parameter is explicitly ignored when using CFMX_COMPAT mode.
