pkgsrc/security/p5-Crypt-Blowfish/DESCR

This is Crypt::Blowfish, an XS-based implementation of the Blowfish
cryptography algorithm designed by Bruce Schneier.  It's designed
to take full advantage of Crypt::CBC when desired.  Blowfish keys
may be up to 448 bits (56 bytes) long.

Suggests to have Crypt::CBC module installed.
Update to 2.09, provided by Shell Hung in pkg/14695. Changes since 2.06: - changed keysize back to 0 apparently setting keysize to 8 triggered a bad hack in Crypt::CBC which resulted in OpenSRS breaking. the "bad hack" in question is: $ks = $cipher =~ /blowfish/i ? 56 : 8 unless $ks > 0; ... anyway.. fixed. - added two new functions: min_keysize and max_keysize these allow modules like Crypt::CBC_IL and Crypt::CBC_R to use variable key lengths with CBC modes. - cleaned up test.pl - updated README - minor change in XS - additions to reported platforms Remove package version number from DESCR. 2001-11-23 20:48:12 +01:00			`This is Crypt::Blowfish, an XS-based implementation of the Blowfish`
