Yes that's right.  The PasswordHashingFFI stuff is all one way encryption. 
Blowfish is two way, and the current implementation only works for 8 byte
chunks.  I stopped working on it when the Smalltalk bcrypt implementation I
wanted proved to be 5000x times slower than the FFI version. Someone needs 
to add the CBC part to Blowfish to encrypt longer strings.  I do not know of
another in image two way encryption scheme, but there may be something in
the Cryptography repo.  I'm not sure.
