The Blowfish Library
|
|
|
|
Blowfish is a block cipher that operates on 64bit (8 byte) quantities.
|
|
It uses variable size key, but 128bit (16 byte) key would normally be
|
|
considered good. It can be used in all the modes that DES can be
|
|
used. This library implements the ecb, cbc, cfb64, ofb64 modes.
|
|
|
|
Blowfish is quite a bit faster that DES, and much faster than IDEA
|
|
or RC2. It is one of the faster block ciphers.
