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 + |
