[Explain what blowfish means in connection to encryption]
The blowfish crypto algorithm has a homepage at [L1 ].
One can find a Tcl blowfish implementation in Kitten (MDD: 1-10-04 - is there some documentation somewhere on the syntax for calling the kitten blowfish package?), in AOLserver as well as in :
What: Tcl-BLOBs (Binary Large Objects)
Where: ftp://ftp.kisters.de/pub/lang/tcl/ext/blob1.1.tar.gz

Description: Tcl-Blob adds binary data access/binary I/O to Tcl 7.5 or higher.
Can be built as a shared dynamic library. Tcl-BlobX contains
cryptography-related algorithms such as block ciphers, hash
functions, DES, IDEA, Blowfish, MD5, HAVAL, etc.
Tcl-BlobX contains cryptographic software - sites must
be aware that having this package available for download
from a USA site may not be legal.
This package is no longer being developed. Instead, the
contact recommends Tcl-Trf and Memchan.
Updated: 10/1998
Contact: mailto:[email protected] (Andreas Kupries)Tcl-BLOBS is deprecated. The email address is also not valid anymore - AK.
The successor to the above is Trf. It also contains the blowfish encryption algorithm.
The Kitten Blowfish extension is one of several extensions built with Critcl, all part of "Critlib" and documented at [L2 ] -jcw
