Constants

const BlockSize = 8

The Blowfish block size in bytes.

Types

type Cipher

type Cipher struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

A Cipher is an instance of Blowfish encryption using a particular key.

func NewCipher

func NewCipher(key []byte) (*Cipher, os.Error)

NewCipher creates and returns a Cipher. The key argument should be the Blowfish key, 4 to 56 bytes.

func (*Cipher) BlockSize

func (c *Cipher) BlockSize() int

BlockSize returns the Blowfish block size, 8 bytes. It is necessary to satisfy the Cipher interface in the package "crypto/block".

func (*Cipher) Decrypt

func (c *Cipher) Decrypt(dst, src []byte)

Decrypt decrypts the 8-byte buffer src using the key k and stores the result in dst.

func (*Cipher) Encrypt

func (c *Cipher) Encrypt(dst, src []byte)

Encrypt encrypts the 8-byte buffer src using the key k and stores the result in dst. Note that for amounts of data larger than a block, it is not safe to just call Encrypt on successive blocks; instead, use an encryption mode like CBC (see crypto/block/cbc.go).

func (*Cipher) Reset

func (c *Cipher) Reset()

Reset zeros the key data, so that it will no longer appear in the process's memory.

type KeySizeError

type KeySizeError int

func (KeySizeError) String

func (k KeySizeError) String() string
