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

Chilkat.Crypt2 crypt = new Chilkat.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.
string ivHex = "0001020304050607";

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