💖 NAME 💖

ok so this is EVP_CIPHER-BLOWFISH, straight out of the OpenSSL 7ossl manual section — and it's literally just: The BLOBFISH EVP_CIPHER implementations.

and yes bestie, it says BLOBFISH with an O. that's what the page says. i'm not fixing it. it's lowkey iconic and i refuse to gatekeep it from you 🐟💅

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so this page is your lil cheat sheet for BLOWFISH symmetric encryption via the EVP_CIPHER API. that's the whole vibe. it's support, it's here, it exists, it slays 🫶

🦋 Algorithm Names 🦋

ok so the following algorithms are available in the legacy provider</>:

  • "BF-ECB" — your girl. 💫
  • "BF-CBC" — also your girl. 💫
  • "BF-OFB" — also also your girl. 💫
  • "BF-CFB" — also also also your girl. 💫

that's four. all four. no cap, i'm not leaving any of them out, that would be criminal behavior.

🎀 Parameters 🎀

this implementation supports the parameters described in "PARAMETERS" in EVP_EncryptInit(3) — okay so that's the lore, go read that page for the deets, i'm just the messenger 🧚
