EVP_BF_CBC(3ossl)

NAME
EVP_bf_cbc, EVP_bf_cfb, EVP_bf_cfb64, EVP_bf_ecb, EVP_bf_ofb - EVP Blowfish cipher

SYNOPSIS
 #include <openssl/evp.h>

 const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_bf_cbc(void);
 const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_bf_cfb(void);
 const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_bf_cfb64(void);
 const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_bf_ecb(void);
 const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_bf_ofb(void);

DESCRIPTION
The Blowfish encryption algorithm for EVP.

This is a variable key length cipher.

EVP_bf_cbc(), EVP_bf_cfb(), EVP_bf_cfb64(), EVP_bf_ecb(), EVP_bf_ofb()
    Blowfish encryption algorithm in CBC, CFB, ECB and OFB modes respectively.

NOTES
Developers should be aware of the negative performance implications of calling these functions multiple times and should consider using EVP_CIPHER_fetch(3) instead. See "Performance" in crypto(7) for further information.

RETURN VALUES
These functions return an EVP_CIPHER structure that contains the implementation of the symmetric cipher. See EVP_CIPHER_meth_new(3) for details of the EVP_CIPHER structure.
