Blowfish can be used in the same -modes as DES (see L<des_modes(7)|des_modes(7)>). Blowfish is currently one -of the faster block ciphers. It is quite a bit faster than DES, and much -faster than IDEA or RC2. - -Blowfish consists of a key setup phase and the actual encryption or decryption -phase. - -BF_set_key() sets up the B<BF_KEY> B<key> using the B<len> bytes long key -at B<data>. - -BF_ecb_encrypt() is the basic Blowfish encryption and decryption function. -It encrypts or decrypts the first 64 bits of B<in> using the key B<key>, -putting the result in B<out>. B<enc> decides if encryption (B<BF_ENCRYPT>) -or decryption (B<BF_DECRYPT>) shall be performed. The vector pointed at by -B<in> and B<out> must be 64 bits in length, no less. If they are larger, -everything after the first 64 bits is ignored. - -The mode functions BF_cbc_encrypt(), BF_cfb64_encrypt() and BF_ofb64_encrypt() -all operate on variable length data. They all take an initialization vector -B<ivec> which needs to be passed along into the next call of the same function -for the same message. B<ivec> may be initialized with anything, but the -recipient needs to know what it was initialized with, or it won't be able -to decrypt. Some programs and protocols simplify this, like SSH, where -B<ivec> is simply initialized to zero. -BF_cbc_encrypt() operates on data that is a multiple of 8 bytes long, while -BF_cfb64_encrypt() and BF_ofb64_encrypt() are used to encrypt an variable -number of bytes (the amount does not have to be an exact multiple of 8). The -purpose of the latter two is to simulate stream ciphers, and therefore, they -need the parameter B<num>, which is a pointer to an integer where the current -offset in B<ivec> is stored between calls. This integer must be initialized -to zero when B<ivec> is initialized. - -BF_cbc_encrypt() is the Cipher Block Chaining function for Blowfish. It -encrypts or decrypts the 64 bits chunks of B<in> using the key B<schedule>, -putting the result in B<out>. B<enc> decides if encryption (BF_ENCRYPT) or -decryption (BF_DECRYPT) shall be performed. B<ivec> must point at an 8 byte -long initialization vector. - -BF_cfb64_encrypt() is the CFB mode for Blowfish with 64 bit feedback. -It encrypts or decrypts the bytes in B<in> using the key B<schedule>, -putting the result in B<out>. B<enc> decides if encryption (B<BF_ENCRYPT>) -or decryption (B<BF_DECRYPT>) shall be performed. B<ivec> must point at an -8 byte long initialization vector. B<num> must point at an integer which must -be initially zero. - -BF_ofb64_encrypt() is the OFB mode for Blowfish with 64 bit feedback. -It uses the same parameters as BF_cfb64_encrypt(), which must be initialized -the same way. - -BF_encrypt() and BF_decrypt() are the lowest level functions for Blowfish -encryption. They encrypt/decrypt the first 64 bits of the vector pointed by -B<data>, using the key B<key>. These functions should not be used unless you -implement 'modes' of Blowfish. The alternative is to use BF_ecb_encrypt(). -If you still want to use these functions, you should be aware that they take -each 32-bit chunk in host-byte order, which is little-endian on little-endian -platforms and big-endian on big-endian ones. - -=head1 RETURN VALUES - -None of the functions presented here return any value. - -=head1 NOTE - -Applications should use the higher level functions -L<EVP_EncryptInit(3)|EVP_EncryptInit(3)> etc. instead of calling the -blowfish functions directly. - -=head1 SEE ALSO - -L<des_modes(7)|des_modes(7)> - -=head1 HISTORY - -The Blowfish functions are available in all versions of SSLeay and OpenSSL. - -=cut - |
