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.

    //  that are added to pad the result to a multiple of the

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