Blowfish is a symmetric block cipher that can be used as a drop-in
replacement for DES or IDEA. It takes a variable-length key, from 32 bits
to 448 bits, making it ideal for both domestic and exportable use.
Blowfish was designed in 1993 by Bruce Schneier as a fast, free
alternative to existing encryption algorithms.
