.SH DESCRIPTION

.PP

Blowfish is Bruce Schneier's symmetric block cipher.  It supports

variable length keys from 32 to 448 bits and has a block size of 64

bits.  Both CBC and ECB modes are supported.

.PP

setupBFstate takes a BFstate structure, a key of at most 56 bytes, the

length of the key in bytes, and an initialization vector of 8 bytes

(set to all zeroes if argument is nil).  The encryption and decryption

functions take a BFstate structure, a data buffer, and a length, which

must be a multiple of eight bytes as padding is currently unsupported.
