Thread: Wrapper functions for encryption

I have executed the blowfish algorithm and my output for string is

Code:

Encrypting string(12): technologies
(0) ENC_DUMP: t->0x9BB46254476C, e->0x1C458C4D7E5D5
(2) ENC_DUMP: c->0x1733846EEDDF5, h->0x122165497E762
(4) ENC_DUMP: n->0x1CECA6B5E3D0F, o->0x10F4CC1EAAA7B
(6) ENC_DUMP: l->0x1A0D58AB2FF79, o->0x107FF53CA917B
(8) ENC_DUMP: g->0xEB7B0435136F, i->0x137C5A85CC93B
(10) ENC_DUMP: e->0x32B9EAADF385, s->0xC4AD7059D8DB
Decrypted string: technologies

but when i use the password how can i do it.I read the article here
How to use the Blowfish algo?

Here they said that for using of password we have to create the wrapper.I don't know what it is can anyone can have the idea of how to create the wrapper for password and how to use it.

I need the crypt_blowfish model encryption.

Referring to your previous thread.
Format specifiers error

Well if you made the password argv[2] in your program, you would have your wrapper.

In these is there we can use any range of length or their is any restriction in their range and also we can use string only or use any special characters.
Blowfish_Init (&ctx, (unsigned char*)"Kn0wed&e1s^0wER", 7);

When i change the argv[2] as you said i end up with an error like.can you explain me fully.

Code:

(gdb) run naveenraj
Starting program: /home/niche-0043/Downloads/bfsh-sch/a.out naveenraj
Encrypting string(9): (null)

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x0000000000400d00 in main (argc=2, argv=0x7fffffffdeb8) at blow.c:528
528            enc[i] = str[i];

> (gdb) run naveenraj
One presumes that one is smart enough to pass TWO arguments to a program when TWO arguments are expected.

Or at least change the number of expected arguments check at the beginning of the program to defend against user error.

What do you think the 7 actually represented in the first example?
- The number of days in a week.
- The number of faces on a cube, +1
- The length of the edge of a chess board, -1
- The length of the key string.
