EncryptBinary

bytes

Binary data to encrypt.

key

String. Key or seed used to encrypt the string.

• 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

(Optional) The algorithm to use to decrypt the string.The Enterprise Edition of ColdFusion installs the RSA BSafe Crypto-J library, which provides FIPS-140 Compliant Strong Cryptography. For a list of algorithms, see the Encrypt function.The Standard Edition of ColdFusion installs a cryptography library with the following algorithms:

• CFMX_COMPAT: the algorithm used in ColdFusion MX and prior releases. This algorithm is the least secure option (default).
• 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.
• GCM: Galois/Counter Mode (GCM) encryption algorithm.  
• NoPadding: NOPADDING AES 128 bit Encryption algorithm.If you install a security provider with additional cryptography algorithms, you can also specify any of its string encryption and decryption algorithms.
• AES/CBC/PKCS5Padding: Encryption algorithm.
  

IVorSalt

(Optional) Specify this parameter to adjust ColdFusion encryption to match the details of other encryption software. If you specify this parameter, also specify the algorithm parameter.

• For Block Encryption algorithms: This is the binary Initialization Vector value to use with the algorithm. The algorithm must contain a Feedback Mode other than ECB. This must be a binary value that is exactly the same size as the algorithm block size. Use the same value in the Decrypt function to successfully decrypt the data.
• For Password Based Encryption algorithms: This is the binary Salt value to transform the password into a key. The same value must be used to decrypt the data.

iterations

(Optional) The number of iterations to transform the password into a binary key. Specify this parameter to adjust ColdFusion encryption to match the details of other encryption software. If you specify this parameter, also specify the algorithm parameter with a Password Based Encryption (PBE) algorithm. Do not specify this parameter for Block Encryption algorithms. Use the same value to encrypt and decrypt the data.

<h3>EncryptBinary Example</h3>
<!--- Do the following if the form has been submitted. --->
<cfif IsDefined("Form.myfile")>

<cffile file="#Form.myfile#" action="readBinary" variable="myData">
<cfscript>
/* GenerateSecretKey does not generate key for the CFMX_COMPAT algorithm,
so use the key from the form.
*/
if (Form.myAlgorithm EQ "CFMX_COMPAT")
theKey=Form.MyKey;
// For all other encryption techniques, generate a secret key.
else
theKey=generateSecretKey(Form.myAlgorithm);
//Encrypt the string
encrypted=encryptBinary(myData, theKey, Form.myAlgorithm);
//Decrypt it
decrypted=decryptBinary(encrypted, theKey, Form.myAlgorithm);
