Encryption.Blowfish

Efficient implementation of Blowfish cipher with minimal memory allocations in ECB, CBC and CTR block modes.<br /> CTR is also available as encryption and decryption stream.<br /> Non-stream variants work by mutating input buffer (Span<byte>).

Implemented using defaults, 16-round with pre-computed subkeys.<br /> Tested against well-known test vectors.

Quickstart

nuget package Encryption.Blowfish

dotnet add package Encryption.Blowfish [ -v 2.0.0 ]

Buffer

using Encryption.Blowfish;
using System.Security.Cryptography;

var key = "a3bd614b27864e3f854b971f9df1a802"; // cipher key
var iv = RandomNumberGenerator.GetBytes(8); // IV
byte[] buf = ...; // data you want to encrypt
buf = buf.CopyAndPadIfNotAlreadyPadded();

var cbc = new BlowfishCbc(key);
var ok = cbc.Encrypt(buf, iv);
ok = cbc.Decrypt(buf, iv);

Stream

using Encryption.Blowfish;
using System.Security.Cryptography;

var codec = new Codec(Convert.FromHexString("df83d31539c244d298ce302036f91edd"));
var iv = RandomNumberGenerator.GetBytes(8);

// encrypt
using var encrypted = new MemoryStream();
using (var bfe = new BlowfishCtrEncryptStream(encrypted, codec, iv))
{
    bfe.Write(...);
    bfe.Write(...);
    // ...
}
// It is important to dispose or Close the stream as soon as the writing is finished.

enc.Position = 0;

// decrypt
using var decrypted = new MemoryStream();
using var bfd = new BlowfishCtrDecryptStream(encrypted, codec, iv);
bfd.CopyTo(decrypted);

Available types

type mode usage works on thread-safe
BlowfishEcb ECB Only when forced to. Lack of diffusion. Require padded original data. buffer yes
BlowfishCbc CBC Recommended. Require padded original data. buffer yes
BlowfishCtr CTR Recommended. Works without padding. buffer yes
ParallelBlowfishEcb EBC Only when forced to. Parallel computation from certain data size. Require padded original data. buffer yes
ParallelBlowfishCtr CTR Recommended. Parallel computation from certain data size. Works without padding. buffer yes
BlowfishCtrEncryptStream CTR Only when you need stream-sematics; otherwise you are better off with input buffer variants. stream no
BlowfishCtrDecryptStream CTR dtto stream no
