Blowfish Encryption, ECB, CBC, CFB modes

See more Encryption Examples

Blowfish encryption. The Chilkat encryption component supports Blowfish key sizes ranging from 32-bits to 448-bits. Chilkat's blowfish implementation supports ECB (Electronic Cookbook) , CBC (Cipher-Block Chaining), and CFB (Cipher Feedback) modes. Lianja

// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

loCrypt = createobject("CkCrypt2")

// Attention: use "blowfish2" for the algorithm name:
loCrypt.CryptAlgorithm = "blowfish2"

// CipherMode may be "ecb", "cbc", or "cfb"
loCrypt.CipherMode = "cbc"

// KeyLength (in bits) may be a number between 32 and 448.
// 128-bits is usually sufficient.  The KeyLength must be a 
// multiple of 8.
loCrypt.KeyLength = 128

// The padding scheme determines the contents of the bytes
// that are added to pad the result to a multiple of the
// encryption algorithm's block size.  Blowfish has a block
// size of 8 bytes, so encrypted output is always
// a multiple of 8.
loCrypt.PaddingScheme = 0

// EncodingMode specifies the encoding of the output for
// encryption, and the input for decryption.
// It may be "hex", "url", "base64", or "quoted-printable".
loCrypt.EncodingMode = "hex"

// An initialization vector is required if using CBC or CFB modes.
// ECB mode does not use an IV.
// The length of the IV is equal to the algorithm's block size.
// It is NOT equal to the length of the key.
lcIvHex = "0001020304050607"
loCrypt.SetEncodedIV(lcIvHex,"hex")

// The secret key must equal the size of the key.  For
// 256-bit encryption, the binary secret key is 32 bytes.
// For 128-bit encryption, the binary secret key is 16 bytes.
lcKeyHex = "000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F"
loCrypt.SetEncodedKey(lcKeyHex,"hex")

// Encrypt a string...
// The input string is 44 ANSI characters (i.e. 44 bytes), so
// the output should be 48 bytes (a multiple of 8).
// Because the output is a hex string, it should
// be 96 characters long (2 chars per byte).
lcEncStr = loCrypt.EncryptStringENC("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.")
? lcEncStr

// Now decrypt:
lcDecStr = loCrypt.DecryptStringENC(lcEncStr)
? lcDecStr
