 Hash (string) 

Description

Converts a string into a 32-byte, hexadecimal string, using the MD5 algorithm. There is no way to convert this hash back to the original string. This is often used to encrypt passwords so that they are more secure.

Example

 <cfset password = Hash('unguessableword')>  <cfoutput>  This is the #password# after hash function.  </cfoutput>
