| GeneratePBKDFKey | Generates a Password-Based Key-Derivation Function (PBKDF) key. |
| GenerateSecretKey | Generates a secure random key value for use in the encrypt and decrypt functions. |
| GenerateSCryptHash | It is a salted password hashing mechanism that takes an input and hashes it into a fixed size output. |
| GenerateBCryptHash | It is a password-hashing cryptographic function that takes an input and hashes it into a fixed size output. |
| GetAuthUser | Gets the name of an authenticated user. |
| GetTempDirectory | Gets the path of the directory that CFML uses for temporary files. |
| GetTempFile | Creates a temporary file in a directory whose name starts with (at most) the first three characters of prefix. |
| GetUserRoles | Retrieves the list of roles for the current user. |
| GetSafeHTML | Sanitizes the given input string based on the the rules specified in an antisamy policy file. |
| Hash | Converts a string into a fixed length hexadecimal string. |
