	Blowfish
		Blowfish was designed in 1993 by Bruce Schneier as a fast, free alternative to existing encryption algorithms.
		Blowfish is unpatented and license-free, and is available free for all uses.
		For Blowfish implementors, here are the hexadecimal digits of pi, arranged as four s_boxes and one p_array, as per the Blowfish default.

	Blowfish (cipher) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Schneier designed Blowfish as a general-purpose algorithm, intended as a replacement for the aging DES and free of the problems associated with other algorithms.
		Blowfish has a 64-bit block size and a key length of anywhere from 32 bits to 448 bits.
		Blowfish is one of the fastest block ciphers in widespread use, except when changing keys.

	Blowfish Encryption Algorithm
		DES [16], the workhorse encryption algorithm for the past fifteen years, is nearing the end of its useful life.
		While it may not be possible to satisfy all requirements with a single algorithm, it may be possible to satisfy them with a family of algorithms based on the same cryptographic principles.
		A standard encryption algorithm must be implementable on a variety of different platforms, each with their own requirements.

		Blowfish is classified as public domain; as such it has been analyzed extensively and gone through years of peer review.
		Bruce Schneier, creator of the Blowfish encryption algorithm, has calculated that according to what we know of quantum mechanics today, that the entire energy output of the sun is insufficient to break a 197-bit key.
		Encryption speed, key strength and extensive peer review of the algorithm were the key motivating factors behind the decision to utilize Blowfish encryption.

		Encryption is done on a computer by transforming the information to be encrypted (plaintext) using a key and producing ciphertext.
		This is an encryption algorithm where the same key is used for both encryption and decryption (unlike asymmetric where different keys are used).
		The key used in a symmetric algorithm is often called a secret key because it has to be kept secret by all users of the system, unlike a public key that has to be made available to everyone.

	The Blowfish Encryption Algorithm with Java Source Code (Cryptography)
		Blowfish is a block cipher that encrypts data in 8-byte blocks.
		Because the Blowfish cipher engine is designed to handle two 32-bit blocks, this method's purpose is to transform on entry and exit the data to/from 32-bit blocks; ie.
		This method, outputs the result in a byte array form, suitable for the user data encryption operations, while BF_encrypt outputs its result as an int array suitable for, and used during, the expansion of the user-key into a Blowfish session key.

	Cryptit - The Blowfish based encryptiuon freeware
		Since the program will perform both encryption and decryption, either of the two "direction" flags must be explicitly given: /e to e(ncrypt) or /d to d(ecrypt).
		Technically, CRYPTIT is a 64-bit block cipher (Blowfish) implemented in Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode, using an execution-specific random Initialization Vector (IV), and a trailer in which a count of random bytes overcomes a possible short-block at the end of the plaintext.
		In this step, a simple encryption operation is done on the input Plaintext and in the deciphering process, the same thing is done.

		Blowfish was developed in 1993 by Bruce Schneier, an independent consultant and cryptographer, and quickly became one of the most popular alternatives to DES.

		It is an 8086 assembler implementation of Lai and Massey's International Data Encryption Algorithm (IDEA) along with a Tandem Davies-Meyer hashing routine and CFB block chaining.
		It seems that the CFB mode allows the use of the encryption algorithm in one direction only; even a hashing algorithm could be used for encryption with the CFB mode, although I have been told that such a system would be much slower than TinyIdea.
		This, while using the same encryption routines of BLOWFISH, uses the RC5 (and RC6) key initialization scheme, starting with the hexadecimal digits of e (natural log base) -2, and adding the Fibonacci number (sometimes called the golden ratio, hence the name) for each P and S box.
