  96. .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
  97. All of the functions described on this page are deprecated. Applications should
  98. instead use \fBEVP_EncryptInit_ex\fR\|(3), \fBEVP_EncryptUpdate\fR\|(3) and
  99. \&\fBEVP_EncryptFinal_ex\fR\|(3) or the equivalently named decrypt functions.
  100. .PP
  101. This library implements the Blowfish cipher, which was invented and described
  102. by Counterpane (see http://www.counterpane.com/blowfish.html ).
  103. .PP
  104. Blowfish is a block cipher that operates on 64 bit (8 byte) blocks of data.
  105. It uses a variable size key, but typically, 128 bit (16 byte) keys are
  106. considered good for strong encryption. Blowfish can be used in the same
  107. modes as DES (see \fBdes_modes\fR\|(7)). Blowfish is currently one
  108. of the faster block ciphers. It is quite a bit faster than DES, and much
  109. faster than IDEA or RC2.
  110. .PP
  111. Blowfish consists of a key setup phase and the actual encryption or decryption
  112. phase.
  113. .PP
  114. \&\fBBF_set_key()\fR sets up the \fBBF_KEY\fR \fBkey\fR using the \fBlen\fR bytes long key
  115. at \fBdata\fR.
  116. .PP
  117. \&\fBBF_ecb_encrypt()\fR is the basic Blowfish encryption and decryption function.
  118. It encrypts or decrypts the first 64 bits of \fBin\fR using the key \fBkey\fR,
  119. putting the result in \fBout\fR. \fBenc\fR decides if encryption (\fBBF_ENCRYPT\fR)
  120. or decryption (\fBBF_DECRYPT\fR) shall be performed. The vector pointed at by
  121. \&\fBin\fR and \fBout\fR must be 64 bits in length, no less. If they are larger,
  122. everything after the first 64 bits is ignored.
  123. .PP
  124. The mode functions \fBBF_cbc_encrypt()\fR, \fBBF_cfb64_encrypt()\fR and \fBBF_ofb64_encrypt()\fR
  125. all operate on variable length data. They all take an initialization vector
  126. \&\fBivec\fR which needs to be passed along into the next call of the same function
  127. for the same message. \fBivec\fR may be initialized with anything, but the
  128. recipient needs to know what it was initialized with, or it won't be able
  129. to decrypt. Some programs and protocols simplify this, like SSH, where
  130. \&\fBivec\fR is simply initialized to zero.
  131. \&\fBBF_cbc_encrypt()\fR operates on data that is a multiple of 8 bytes long, while
  132. \&\fBBF_cfb64_encrypt()\fR and \fBBF_ofb64_encrypt()\fR are used to encrypt a variable
  133. number of bytes (the amount does not have to be an exact multiple of 8). The
  134. purpose of the latter two is to simulate stream ciphers, and therefore, they
  135. need the parameter \fBnum\fR, which is a pointer to an integer where the current
  136. offset in \fBivec\fR is stored between calls. This integer must be initialized
  137. to zero when \fBivec\fR is initialized.
  138. .PP
  139. \&\fBBF_cbc_encrypt()\fR is the Cipher Block Chaining function for Blowfish. It
  140. encrypts or decrypts the 64 bits chunks of \fBin\fR using the key \fBschedule\fR,
  141. putting the result in \fBout\fR. \fBenc\fR decides if encryption (BF_ENCRYPT) or
  142. decryption (BF_DECRYPT) shall be performed. \fBivec\fR must point at an 8 byte
  143. long initialization vector.
  144. .PP
  145. \&\fBBF_cfb64_encrypt()\fR is the CFB mode for Blowfish with 64 bit feedback.
  146. It encrypts or decrypts the bytes in \fBin\fR using the key \fBschedule\fR,
  147. putting the result in \fBout\fR. \fBenc\fR decides if encryption (\fBBF_ENCRYPT\fR)
  148. or decryption (\fBBF_DECRYPT\fR) shall be performed. \fBivec\fR must point at an
  149. 8 byte long initialization vector. \fBnum\fR must point at an integer which must
  150. be initially zero.
  151. .PP
  152. \&\fBBF_ofb64_encrypt()\fR is the OFB mode for Blowfish with 64 bit feedback.
  153. It uses the same parameters as \fBBF_cfb64_encrypt()\fR, which must be initialized
  154. the same way.
  155. .PP
  156. \&\fBBF_encrypt()\fR and \fBBF_decrypt()\fR are the lowest level functions for Blowfish
  157. encryption. They encrypt/decrypt the first 64 bits of the vector pointed by
  158. \&\fBdata\fR, using the key \fBkey\fR. These functions should not be used unless you
  159. implement 'modes' of Blowfish. The alternative is to use \fBBF_ecb_encrypt()\fR.
  160. If you still want to use these functions, you should be aware that they take
  161. each 32\-bit chunk in host-byte order, which is little-endian on little-endian
  162. platforms and big-endian on big-endian ones.
