I've had issues with encrypt/decrypt when combined with URLEncodedFormat().
The issue always had to do with how strings got Decoded (not decrypted). If the encrypted value had a space in it (which I couldn't guarantee it wouldn't since we were using CF6.1), the space would be encoded as "%20". When it was Decoded, it would become a "+" rather than a space, so the decrypting would do funky things very often resulting in null pointer errors! It doesn't sound like this is your issue, but it was a thorn in my side for several months while working on this CF6 application.
