-----Original Message----- From: Schreck, Tom [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 08, 2002 8:50 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Encrypt / Decrypt Gary- I've used the hash function to convert the password into a hashed value and then store the hashed value in the database. The setback is you cannot convert it back to the original value once its been hashed. So, when you need to compare values, you will have to hash the user inputted password and compare it to the value stored in the database. Hope that helps. Tom -----Original Message----- From: Alford, Gary [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 03, 2002 4:00 PM To: DFW ColdFusion Users Group (E-mail) Subject: Encrypt / Decrypt I am trying to populate a database field with encrypted passwords for an internal security system and then decrypt them later for login. The code I am using to encrypt / decrypt is: <cfif IsDefined("form.pw")> <cfset encr_pw = #LCase(form.pw)#> <cfset encr_pw = encrypt(encr_pw, "gala55")> <cfset decr_pw = decrypt(encr_pw, "gala55")> </cfif> However, if I output these variables, I am not getting a constant return on the "encr_pw" variable. Each time I refresh the page, I get a different value for encr_pw (the last character of the string is always different). Therefore, the correct password will not decrypt properly. Any ideas? ============================================ Gary L.
