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.
