Function DECRYPT

Example

decrypt(string encrypted_string,string key,[string algorithm,[string encoding,[any IVorSalt,[number iterations]]]]):string

Arguments

Name	Type	Required	Default Value	Description
encrypted_string	string	Yes		String to decrypt.
key	string	Yes		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	string	No	cfmx_compat	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 You may also specify other algorithm names as well as the feedback mode and padding scheme where applicable (in the format algorithm/mode/padding) as documented in the Java Cryptography Architecture (JCA) Reference Guide.
encoding	string	No	uu	The binary encoding used to represent the data as a string. Must be the same as the algorithm used to encrypt the string. Base64: the Base64 algorithm, as specified by IETF RFC 2045 Hex: the characters A-F and 0-9 represent the hexadecimal byte values UU(default): the UNIX standard UUEncode algorithm
IVorSalt	any	No		Initialization Vector for algorithms with Feedback Mode that is not ECB, or Salt for Password Based Encryption algorithms
iterations	number	No		number of Iterations for Password Based Encryption algorithms (ignored for all other algorithms). NIST recommends a minimum value of 1000.
