Chris,
Take a look at some of the past messages in this thread. There was a whole
discussion on this a few days ago. A few people proposed potential
solutions to the issue you're describing. In my own opinion, this is a
problem with the encrypt() function (here we go again, Ray... :)), but there
are viable workarounds and solutions.
Good luck,
Tyson

Subject: RE: Encrypt and Decrypt function
Hi all.
Are there any known Bugs associated with the Encrypt and Decrypt
function. We have used these functions to encrypt variables that we are
passing through as URL's.
95% of the time this works fine, but sometimes we get the following
message, or similar messages. Two minutes later it will be working
again. It jsut seems to be very tempermental.
Has anyone had any experience of this?
Does it have anything to do with the connection to the server?
Feedback and advice would be greatly appreciated as if this cannot be
trusted to work 100% of the time, then it is not much use to us in the
application.
Someone did mention CFUSION_encrypt but have been warned against using
this as it is an unofficial function.
The error message we have been getting is:
An error occurred while evaluating the expression:
CI = Decrypt(ToString(ToBinary(URL.Card_Id)),secret_key)
The value to be decrypted is not valid
