JP_FishString: Modification to the Blowfish Cipher
Wednesday, June 7th, 2006I started looking into the Blowfish encryption/decryption algorithm for a few projects that I have started working on. I quickly realized that the algorithm, as-is, had a painful way of handling strings for standard text:salt pairs. So I created a shared library to extend the Blowfish algorithm that contains wrapper functions to allow strings to be passed into the base Blowfish_encipher and Blowfish_decipher functions. For a few laughs� I named it FishString. Since it is used for some secure applications I am working on, I am not able to release the source; however, I will submit the *.o file and the binary created during testing (which can be used as a command line based encryption / decryption tool).
