I was going to ask a similar question. but on the strength of encryption... I got trained on the blackberry system last year and they explained how the Triple DES encription works. To strengthen Blowfish, I was wondering if anyone had tried to employ exactly the same technique.
Encrypt your file, then change the key, and decrypt the same file, then change they key again and re-encrypt the file. A La Tripple Blowfish, Don't forget the Keys and emply the same decryption tequnique in reverse.
Hold on.... blowfish encryption won't work on windows xp Home or Vista home or whatever it's called??
Yes it will..
So...If you can use the blowfish encryption on windows XP (which I don't see why you wouldn't be able to)...then will someone please provide me with an example of how to create a simple file encrypting program? (By the way I like the Triple Blowfish idea.)
Well, I'm not sure what kind of file encryption im2famous4u is talking about, but if you were to try to encrypt, say, a JPEG file you wouldn't be able to do that unless you have one of those versions of Windows.
However, if you want to simply encrypt a text file, blowfish can encrypt the text inside using any version of windows, but not the binary file arrangement.
I was simply talking about using the blowfish object inside MMF2. I don't know how to use that. Could you create an example of a program created with MMF2 that encrypted files?
What?! I don't know what people are talking about- how would Windows prevent an encryption algorithm which has nothing to do with Microsoft from working?
im2famous4u, what is the file type you're trying to encrypt?
Blowfish encrypts binary data and all files, regardless of operating system and machine, contains plain binary data. Yes, even text files - sure, in a text file every byte represents an ascii character, but a text file is exactly as binary as any other file. For the encryption to work it does not matter what type of file he's encrypting, and what OS he is on, as long as the software itself is supported.
