Blowfish Encryption to Match PHP's Mcrypt Extension

See more Encryption Examples

Demonstrates how to match Blowfish encryption results with PHP's mcrypt extension.

Please refer to this PHP (non-Chilkat) example for PHP Blowfish Encryption. The code here matches the PHP mcrypt results on that web page.

Rust

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

let crypt = chilkat::Crypt2::new();

// Use "blowfish2" to get proper results:
crypt.set_crypt_algorithm("blowfish2");

// CipherMode may be "ecb" or "cbc"
crypt.set_cipher_mode("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.set_key_length(256);

// Pad with NULL bytes (PHP pads with NULL bytes)
crypt.set_padding_scheme(3);

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

// The blowfish algorithm uses a 64-bit block size, 
// therefore the IV must be 8 bytes:
let iv_ascii = "12345678".to_string();
crypt.set_encoded_iv(&iv_ascii, "ascii");

// For 256-bit encryption, the key is 32 bytes:
let mut key_ascii = "1234567890123456ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOP".to_string();
crypt.set_encoded_key(&key_ascii, "ascii");

let plain_text = "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog".to_string();

let mut cipher_text = crypt.encrypt_string_enc(&plain_text).unwrap_or_default();
println!("{}", cipher_text);
// Output should be (case insensitive):
// 276855ca6c0d60f7d9708210440c1072e05d078e733b34b4198d609dc2fcc2f0c30926cdef3b6d52baf6e345aa03f83e

// Do 128-bit Blowfish encryption:
crypt.set_key_length(128);
key_ascii = "1234567890123456".to_string();
crypt.set_encoded_key(&key_ascii, "ascii");

cipher_text = crypt.encrypt_string_enc(&plain_text).unwrap_or_default();
println!("{}", cipher_text);
// Output should be (case insensitive):
// d2b5abb73208aea3790621d028afcc74d8dd65fb9ea8e666444a72523f5ecca60df79a424e2c714fa6efbafcc40bdca0
