Blowfish Encryption, ECB, CBC, CFB modes

See more Encryption Examples

Blowfish encryption. The Chilkat encryption component supports Blowfish key sizes ranging from 32-bits to 448-bits. Chilkat's blowfish implementation supports ECB (Electronic Cookbook) , CBC (Cipher-Block Chaining), and CFB (Cipher Feedback) modes. DataFlex

    Set ComCipherMode Of hoCrypt To "cbc"

    // KeyLength (in bits) may be a number between 32 and 448.

    // multiple of 8.
    Set ComKeyLength Of hoCrypt To 128

    // The padding scheme determines the contents of the bytes
    // that are added to pad the result to a multiple of the
    // encryption algorithm's block size.  Blowfish has a block
    // size of 8 bytes, so encrypted output is always
    // a multiple of 8.

    // encryption, and the input for decryption.
    // It may be "hex", "url", "base64", or "quoted-printable".
    Set ComEncodingMode Of hoCrypt To "hex"

    // An initialization vector is required if using CBC or CFB modes.
    // ECB mode does not use an IV.

    // The input string is 44 ANSI characters (i.e. 44 bytes), so
    // the output should be 48 bytes (a multiple of 8).
    // Because the output is a hex string, it should
