Hi there,
I found some code here for blowfish encryption algorithm:
http://www.counterpane.com/blowfish.html
The C encrypt function looks like this:
Has anyone seen this and can help me with understanding what i need to put in to those two parameters because I'm trying to encrypt an entire file.Code:Blowfish_encipher(unsigned long *xl, unsigned long *xr){ etc...}
Thanx
There is a paper on the site that you reference which tells you how the algorithm works. I suggest you read it.
The input into the algorithm is a 64-bit word, x. you split this into two 32-bit words xl (x-left) and xr (x-right), I guess how you do this is up to you but the obvious way is make xl the most significant 32 bits of x and xr the least significant. It doesn't really matter that much as long as the sender and receiver do it the same way!
Then just pass pointers to xl and xr into the function (look at the examples in the code). To encrypt/decrypt a file just pass the data in one 64-bit word at a time.
