How to use the Blowfish algo?

Hello,
i would include he blowfish algo in a projekt, but i dont know how. Can someone help me and the other reader of this Thread.

If i have this code:
main.c

Code:

---

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main() {
    char text[256] = "";
    char dec_text[256] = "";
    char pw[12]  = "";
    cout << "Text:" << endl;
    cin >> text;
    cout << "Password:" << endl;
    cin >> pw;
    // decrypt the text with blowfish and save it in dec_text
    dec_text = blowfisch(text, pw);  // :) ?
    cout << "Verschluesselter Text:" << dec_text << endl;
    return 0;
}

I hope someone can say me how i can use the algo in my programm.

Well, if you have functions called "Blowfish_encipher" and "Blowfish_decipher" I would think you would use those to encipher and decipher, respectively (as opposed to some function "blowfisch" that you didn't bother to write, so far as I can tell).

Look at the C example http://www.schneier.com/code/bfsh-koc.zip

Heres an example that would work on strings:

Code:

---


#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include "blowfish.h"

int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{ 
    int i;
    int len = strlen(argv[1]);
    unsigned long enc[len];
    char * str = argv[1];
    char denc[len];
    if(argc != 2)
    {
        fprintf(stderr, "Pass one string to encrypt.\n");
        exit(1);
    }   
   
    BLOWFISH_CTX ctx;
    /* you could replace this with a new key of course */
    Blowfish_Init (&ctx, (unsigned char*)"TESTKEY", 7);
   
    printf("Encrypting string(%d): %s\n", len, str);
   
    for(i = 0; i < len; i+=2)
    {
        enc[i] = str[i];
        enc[i+1] = str[i+1];               
        Blowfish_Encrypt(&ctx, &enc[i], &enc[i+1]);
        printf("(%d) ENC_DUMP: %c->0x%08lX, %c->0x%08lX\n", i, str[i], enc[i], str[i+1], enc[i+1]);
    }
    for(i = 0; i < len; i+=2)
    {
        Blowfish_Decrypt(&ctx, &enc[i], &enc[i+1]);
        denc[i] = enc[i];
        denc[i+1] = enc[i+1];
    }
    denc[len] = '\0';
    printf("Decrypted string: %s\n", denc);
   
    return 0;
}

mingerso,
thank you for the code. How can i use there a password?

You would probably want to make some wrapper functions for encrypting and decrypting, but to change the password you have to use this:

Code:

---

Blowfish_Init (&ctx, (unsigned char*)"TESTKEY", 7);

---

the blowfish.cpp
have all crypts like
static const unsigned long ORIG_P[16 + 2] = {
0x243F6A88L, 0x85A308D3L, 0x13198A2EL, 0x03707344L,
0xA4093822L, 0x299F31D0L, 0x082EFA98L, 0xEC4E6C89L,
0x452821E6L, 0x38D01377L, 0xBE5466CFL, 0x34E90C6CL,
0xC0AC29B7L, 0xC97C50DDL, 0x3F84D5B5L, 0xB5470917L,
0x9216D5D9L, 0x8979FB1BL
};


isnt it important for blowfish? it isnt in your code, only:

Code:

---

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include "blowfish.h"

int main(int argc, char * argv[])
{
    printf("beginn");
    int i;
    char text[];
    int len = strlen(text);
    unsigned long enc[len];
    char * str = text[len];
    char denc[len];
    cin >> text;
  /* if(argc != 2)
    {
        fprintf(stderr, "Pass one string to encrypt.\n");
        exit(1);
    }
*/
    BLOWFISH_CTX ctx;
    // you could replace this with a new key of course
    Blowfish_Init (&ctx, (unsigned char*)"pass", 7);

    printf("Encrypting string(%d): %s\n", len, str);

    for(i = 0; i < len; i+=2)
    {
        enc[i] = str[i];
        enc[i+1] = str[i+1];
        Blowfish_Encrypt(&ctx, &enc[i], &enc[i+1]);
        printf("(%d) ENC_DUMP: %c->0x%08lX, %c->0x%08lX\n", i, str[i], enc[i], str[i+1], enc[i+1]);
    }
    for(i = 0; i < len; i+=2)
    {
        Blowfish_Decrypt(&ctx, &enc[i], &enc[i+1]);
        denc[i] = enc[i];
        denc[i+1] = enc[i+1];
    }
    denc[len] = '\0';
    printf("Decrypted string: %s\n", denc);

    return 0;
}

---

and blowfish.h

Code:

---

 
typedef struct {
  unsigned long P[16 + 2];
  unsigned long S[4][256];
} BLOWFISH_CTX;

void Blowfish_Init(BLOWFISH_CTX *ctx, unsigned char *key, int keyLen);
void Blowfish_Encrypt(BLOWFISH_CTX *ctx, unsigned long *xl, unsigned long *xr);
void Blowfish_Decrypt(BLOWFISH_CTX *ctx, unsigned long *xl, unsigned long *xr);

---

As I linked to before, you need to download the code from here: http://www.schneier.com/code/bfsh-koc.zip
and you need to use the blowfish.c code when compiling.

You could always use another code base since it can be done in many ways. Here's a list of open code:
http://www.schneier.com/blowfish-download.html

You also had a mistake in your changed code:

Code:

---

Blowfish_Init (&ctx, (unsigned char*)"pass", 7);

---

should be

Code:

---

Blowfish_Init (&ctx, (unsigned char*)"pass", 4);

---

The last parameter is the length of the password.

Ok, i download bfsh-koc.zip

undefined reference to `WinMain@16'|

I must write a main funktion.

Now i use the blowfish.c correct? it didnt worke?
I past at the end of blowfish.c the errors:
http://rafb.net/p/wWeCdM97.html


But where must i put the clear text in?
Blowfish_Decrypt(&ctx, &L, &R); << ?


help pls :(

Did you read your own file?

Code:

COMMENTS ON USING THIS CODE:
 
Normal usage is as follows:
  [1] Allocate a BLOWFISH_CTX.  (It may be too big for the stack.)
  [2] Call Blowfish_Init with a pointer to your BLOWFISH_CTX, a pointer to
      the key, and the number of bytes in the key.
  [3] To encrypt a 64-bit block, call Blowfish_Encrypt with a pointer to
      BLOWFISH_CTX, a pointer to the 32-bit left half of the plaintext
          and a pointer to the 32-bit right half.  The plaintext will be
          overwritten with the ciphertext.
  [4] Decryption is the same as encryption except that the plaintext and
      ciphertext are reversed.

You have quite a few issues here and should take the code that was posted earlier as an example to encrypt strings. You don't just pass the whole string but have to do multiple passes to Blowfish_Encrypt() using 64 bits at a time (we're actually utilizing only 16 bits in this example or 2 chars). So if you saved the example as bf_test.c and with your compiler did something along the lines of:

cc blowfish.c bf_test.c

then you should get an executable that works.

blowfish.c does not have main() defined and it sounds like you're trying to compile, assemble and link with just that file (which won't work because you need a _start point).

cc blowfish.c bf_test.c
Aha! this was the mistake.
But i use windows. I havent got the gcc. :(

So, if you are using MS compiler, you'd do "cl blowfish.c bf_test.c" or something similar.
