It +uses variable size key, but 128bit (16 byte) key would normally be considered +good. It can be used in all the modes that DES can be used. This library +implements the ecb, cbc, cfb64, ofb64 modes. + + Blowfish is quite a bit faster that DES, and much faster than IDEA or RC2. +It is one of the faster block ciphers. |
