Blowfish Development Kit

A licensable developer's toolkit providing efficient cryptographic functions for integration into software applications to meet your individual data security requirements. The cryptographic algorithm employed is the Blowfish Algorithm as described by Bruce Schneier in "Description of a New Variable-Length Key, 64-Bit Block Cipher (Blowfish). In Fast Software Encryption - Proceedings of the Cambridge Security Workshop, Cambridge, United Kingdom, Lectures Notes in Computer Science 809, pp. 191-204, Springer Verlag, 1994". The software tools are designed for OEM use and are available for a wide range of target platform environments. Developers require no cryptographic background to incorporate privacy and authentication services into their applications. Suitable for a multitude of potential applications, e.g. electronic funds transfer, electronic banking, secure E-mail, disk and file encryption, network user authentication, secure software distribution, etc. Performance details are available here.
