💖 NAME 💖

EVP_CIPHER-BLOWFISH — the BLOBFISH EVP_CIPHER implementations 🐡✨

(yes bestie, it really says BLOBFISH in the source, and I'm keeping it character-for-character because that's the whole bit 💅)

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so this page is all about support for BLOWFISH symmetric encryption using the EVP_CIPHER API. That's the whole vibe. Short page, iconic energy. 🫶

🎀 Algorithm Names 🎀

Heads up: the following algorithms are available in the legacy provider — like, that's the only place they live, so don't go looking for them in the default one, iykyk:

  • "BF-ECB"
  • "BF-CBC"
  • "BF-OFB"
  • "BF-CFB"

Four of them. All the modes. Slay. 🔥

🦋 Parameters 🦋

This implementation supports the parameters described in "PARAMETERS" in EVP_EncryptInit(3). That's where the actual parameter list lives, so go read that one — this page is literally pointing you there, no cap. 📖
