Re: MySql AES_Encrypt values and Coldfusion Encrypt/Decrypt

Thanks for the lead.  I ended up using

HEX(AES_ENCRYPT('JONATHAN', <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_binary" value='#BinaryDecode(thisKey.getKey(), "Base64")#'>))

in mySql to produce the same results as

<cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_varchar"  value='#Encrypt("JONATHAN", thisKey.getKey(), "AES", "Hex")#'>

And it works great!  I didn't have to base64 encode the key - I read somewhere that CF converts the key behind the scenes, which sounded weird, but seems to be true?

Thanks for the help, Peter.
