The encoding of the returned encrypted string is causing the problem. The
code above should be -:

<cfcookie name="Username" value="#URLEncodedFormat(encrypt(CheckMember.Username, 
request.key))#" expires="NEVER">

According to the doco's, encrypt(), only uses a pseudo-random 32-bit key.
Not very secure considering AES uses 256-bit key. Even DES uses a 56-bit
key. AES was approved by the US government in 2001 to replace DES and
3DES. What are the chances of an upgrade to the function seeing as Java
(as of 1.4) includes an AES API?
