For the CFMX_COMPAT algorithm, any combination of any number of characters; used as a seed used to generate a 32-bit encryption key.
For all other algorithms, a key in the format used by the algorithm. For these algorithms, use the GenerateSecretKey function to generate the key.
algorithm
string,
optional
The algorithm to use to decrypt the string. Must be the same as the algorithm used to encrypt the string.
CFMX_COMPAT(default): the CFML specific algorithm. This algorithm is the least secure option
AES: the Advanced Encryption Standard specified by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) FIPS-197
BLOWFISH: the Blowfish algorithm defined by Bruce Schneier
DES: the Data Encryption Standard algorithm defined by NIST FIPS-46-3
DESEDE: the "Triple DES" algorithm defined by NIST FIPS-46-3
cfmx_compat
IVorSalt
any,
optional
Initialization Vector for algorithms with Feedback Mode that is not ECB, or Salt for Password Based Encryption algorithms
Alias:
IV, Salt, prefix
iterations
number,
optional
number of Iterations for Password Based Encryption algorithms (ignored for all other algorithms). NIST recommends a minimum value of 1000.
precise
boolean,
optional
if set to true the input must follow the rule for that encoding a 100%, the decryptor will not try to interpret inputs that are not a 100% correct. This should be used to avoid false positives.
true
