I haven't spent a whole bunch of time on this, but maybe this will help....
I don't think the problem is Blowfish, I think it is CBC. Blowfish is a block cypher, and OpenSRS needs a streaming cypher. CBC is a technique to turn block cyphers into streaming cyphers. >From what I've read, there appears to be two flavors of CBC: the "real world >standard" one, and the one implemented in the PERL Crypt:CBC library. There are a couple of other differences, but there are third-party documents that cover them. As far as I remember, they had to do with how keys were generated for the cypher. -- Lynn On Sun, 23 Nov 2003 18:23:43 -0600, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I feel the same way. :( > > The really said part is that Blowfish was released as an > open standard and so it's trivial to get your hands on > source for virtually any language / platform.
