I'm still working with it (it temporarily got pushed to the back burner for some other hot jobs). However, I think the "Hash" function will work OK.

I have been using the same thing, and I am getting random results. When I encrypt the same password multiple times, I get varied results... I ended up using a code snippet from www.cflib.org. BTW, I save the encrypted password to the database, because there is no use to decrypt it.
