Date: Mon, 23 Jan 2012 06:51:36 +0900 From: erana Owl <[email protected]> I've ported blowfish encryption to sunterlib. It's in the git repo. What is the intended application? It is a rare application of crypto that requires as its sole crypto primitive a block cipher, and the implementation of crypto primitives is a task fraught with dangers such as timing side channels that need to be addressed carefully either with strongly worded caveats or with detailed security analyses.
