💖 EVP_CIPHER-BLOWFISH 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the EVP_CIPHER-BLOWFISH page in the OpenSSL manuals (that's the 7SSL section, iykyk). it's short, it's sweet, it's literally just BLOWFISH through the EVP_CIPHER API. let's get into it 🦋

✨ NAME ✨

EVP_CIPHER-BLOWFISH — the BLOBFISH EVP_CIPHER implementations

not me typing BLOBFISH 💀 that's the doc's spelling, not mine — I'm keeping it exactly as it is because we do NOT edit the facts around here, periodt.

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so the whole vibe is: support for BLOWFISH symmetric encryption using the EVP_CIPHER API. that's it, that's the girl. 🎀

🧚 Algorithm Names

the following algorithms are available in the legacy provider:

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

four icons, all serving ciphers, no cap 💅

🍓 Parameters

this implementation supports the parameters described in "PARAMETERS" in EVP_EncryptInit(3).

that's the whole note, bestie — go read EVP_EncryptInit(3) if you wanna know what's in there, I'm not gonna make stuff up 💜
