To use Amazon Web Services, I needed to encrypt a string with a key based on http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2104.txt

I found a function to do so in one of the AWS projects on riaforge.org, and I guess I'll use that.

I was wondering why it was on the encrypt() docs, but it doesn't work.

Thanks anyway!

I have used the Hash function with SHA1 on Enterprise CF8 and that worked fine

Hash("#myvar#","SHA1")

but not the encrypt.
I always used the cf_encrypt function from the olden days

Hi everyone,

Has anyone used the encrypt function but used the "Enterprise Edition" 
algorithms?  The livedocs at
http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=functions_e-g_01.html#1104201
 
<http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=functions_e-g_01.html#1104201>
say that the "Enterprise Edition of ColdFusion installs the RSA BSafe Crypto-J 
library, which provides FIPS-140 Compliant Strong Cryptography" and lists the 
algorithms, and includes SHA-1.

I have CF8 Enterprise Ed, and heres the code:

   <cfoutput>#encrypt("hello", "key", "SHA1")#</cfoutput>

It gives me "The SHA1 algorithm is not supported by the Security Provider you have 
chosen."

I saw this old thread on HOF 
http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/thread.cfm/threadid:52757, but it's 
a dead end.

Has anyone got the encrypt() function to work?
