| | Blowfish (cipher) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Schneier designed Blowfish as a general-purpose algorithm, intended as a replacement for the aging DES and free of the problems associated with other algorithms. | | | Blowfish's key schedule starts by initializing the P-array and S-boxes with values derived from the hexadecimal digits of pi, which contain no obvious pattern. | | | In one application, it is actually a benefit: the password-hashing method used in OpenBSD uses an algorithm derived from Blowfish that makes use of the slow key schedule; the idea is that the extra computational effort required gives protection against dictionary attacks. |

| | Blowfish, documented here is another unpatented Feistel algorithm using a variable length key. | | | CAST-128, documented in RFC 2144, is a 64-bit, 16 round SPN block cipher using a 128 bit key. | | | The most secure approach would be to design a cipher from scratch and keep both the algorithm and the keys secret. |
