48.Sh DESCRIPTION
49.Pa Blowfish
50is a fast unpatented block cipher designed by Bruce Schneier.
51It basically consists of a 16 times iterated Feistel network.
52The block size is 64 bit and the key size is maximal 448 bit.
53.Pp
54The
55.Fn blf_key
56function initializes the 4 8bit S-boxes and the 18 Subkeys with
57the hexadecimal digits of Pi. The key is used for further randomization.
58The first argument to
59.Fn blf_enc
60is the initalized state derived from
61.Fn blf_key .
62The stream of data is encrypted in Electronic Cookbook Mode (ECB) and
63.Pa datalen
64must be even.
65.Fn blf_dec
66is used for decrypting Blowfish encrypted blocks.
67.Pp
68The functions
69.Fn Blowfish_initstate ,
70.Fn Blowfish_expand0state ,
71.Fn Blowfish_expandstate ,
72.Fn Blowfish_encipher
73and
74.Fn Blowfish_decipher
75are used for customization of the
76.Pa Blowfish
77cipher, i.e. for the blowfish password hashing function or for
78implementation of Cipher Block Chaining Mode (CBC).
