Twofish Encryption - 128-bit, 192-bit, 256-bit

See more Encryption Examples

Twofish encryption. The Chilkat encryption component supports 128-bit, 192-bit, and 256-bit Twofish encryption in both ECB (Electronic Cookbook) and CBC (Cipher-Block Chaining) modes.

# 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.  Twofish has a block
# size of 16 bytes, so encrypted output is always
# a multiple of 16.

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

# ECB mode does not use an IV.

# It is NOT equal to the length of the key.

# Encrypt a string...
# The input string is 44 ANSI characters (i.e. 44 bytes), so

# Because the output is a hex string, it should
# be 96 characters long (2 chars per byte).
