The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Using the ColdFusion encrypt() function

Asked by amethyst3739 in ColdFusion Application Server, ColdFusion Studio

Tags: , ,

I'm trying to encrypt the results of a query, then store them to a file which can be downloaded. I am using the encrypt() function which in turn uses Xor.

How could I then decrypt this file WITHOUT using the Coldfusion decrypt function. (I can not assume that the users downloading this file would have access to coldfusion). I would allow the download of a utility executable (writen in C++ or VB) so that the user could then decrypt the files. The user would already have the key seed.

My question is: How does the darn thing work, what is the algorithm? How is the key generated from the seed? How is the data then encrypted (is it a straight Xor)? I am basically trying to re-write the Coldfusion decrypt() function in another language. Does that even make sense, or is there a better way to accomplish this?

Any help would be much appreciated.
