Hi All,

I would like to know if the FPC implementation of BlowFish is considered secure or not? Especially:

1) Does it has the bug mentioned here:

https://www.schneier.com/blowfish-bug.txt

2) Does it operate in ECB mode or CBC mode (or any other mode)?

I am sorry that by just looking at the code I cannot answer any of the questions above.

Thanks in advance for any comments!

I personally have no idea.

But for completeness, there is also the open source project called DCPCrypt [1] which contains another Blowfish implementation, which many others too.

Maybe there is some comparison you can do, or test case you can run them against.
