(Perl) Blowfish Encryption, ECB, CBC, CFB modes

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.

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

$crypt = chilkat::CkCrypt2->new();

# Attention: use "blowfish2" for the algorithm name:
$crypt->put_CryptAlgorithm("blowfish2");

# CipherMode may be "ecb", "cbc", or "cfb"
$crypt->put_CipherMode("cbc");

# KeyLength (in bits) may be a number between 32 and 448.
# 128-bits is usually sufficient.  The KeyLength must be a 
# multiple of 8.
$crypt->put_KeyLength(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.
$crypt->put_PaddingScheme(0);

# EncodingMode specifies the encoding of the output for
# encryption, and the input for decryption.
# It may be "hex", "url", "base64", or "quoted-printable".
$crypt->put_EncodingMode("hex");

# An initialization vector is required if using CBC or CFB modes.
# ECB mode does not use an IV.
# The length of the IV is equal to the algorithm's block size.
# It is NOT equal to the length of the key.
$ivHex = "0001020304050607";

# The secret key must equal the size of the key.  For
# 256-bit encryption, the binary secret key is 32 bytes.
# For 128-bit encryption, the binary secret key is 16 bytes.
$keyHex = "000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F";
$crypt->SetEncodedKey($keyHex,"hex");

# Encrypt a string...
# 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
# be 96 characters long (2 chars per byte).
