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. Tcl

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

set crypt [new_CkCrypt2]

# Attention: use "blowfish2" for the algorithm name:
CkCrypt2_put_CryptAlgorithm $crypt "blowfish2"

# CipherMode may be "ecb", "cbc", or "cfb"
CkCrypt2_put_CipherMode $crypt "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.

# 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.

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

# 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.

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