Depends what you want to do but something like :
<cfset keylength = 10> <!---- length of key ----->
<cfset key =""> <!--- the key "" to start ---->
<cfloop from=1 to=keylength index=idx>
<!--- you might want to change this, to use a different set of charactors
if being used in a url for example--->
<cfset chrindex = RandRange(65, 126)>
<!---- build the key ----->
<cfset key = key & Chr(chrindex)>
</cfloop>
<!--- output the key --->
<cfoutput>
#key#
</cfoutput>
