# This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

crypt = chilkat2.Crypt2()

# Use "blowfish2" to produce correct results that match published blowfish test vectors.
crypt.CryptAlgorithm = "blowfish2"
# Set the cipher mode to Output Feedback
crypt.CipherMode = "ofb"
crypt.KeyLength = 256

# EncodingMode specifies the encoding of the output for
# encryption, and the input for decryption.
# It may be "hex", "url", "base64", "quoted-printable", or many other choices.
crypt.EncodingMode = "hex"

# The block size of the blowfish algoirthm is 8 bytes, therefore the IV is 8 bytes.
ivHex = "0001020304050607"

# The secret key must equal the size of the key.  For
# 256-bit encryption, the binary secret key is 32 bytes.

# Encrypt a string...
