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.
