Function ENCRYPTBINARY

Encrypts binary data using a specific algorithm and encoding method.

encryptbinary(any bytes,string key,[string algorithm,[any IVorSalt,[number iterations]]]):any

The arguments for this function are set. You can not use other arguments except the following ones.

Name	Type	Required	Description
bytes	any	Yes	Binary data to encrypt.
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	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.
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.
