Using Blowfish (crypt algorithm) in C and Perl

Hi, I am looking for a coder being able to use Blowfish in C (no assembler!) and Perl. This should be trivial for someone who knows what to do! Write a C function 'blowfish_encrypt' (see the attached example for the required parameters) which encrypts a string of arbitrary length with a passphrase of arbitrary length (max. 56 chars) using the blowfish algorithm while being re-entrant/thread safe. Use a public blowfish implementation for this! ([login to view URL] is preferred, but [login to view URL], [login to view URL] or other public available code is also accepted.) Open/Free software like GNU is explicit desired! After the encryption of the string the result string is converted into hex representation and printed to stdout. (Hey as you see: This is already done!) The program has to compile/run on any major Linux/Unix-System (in 32-bit and 64-bit mode!) on little-endian and big-endian hardware. (See my example C code attached!) The hexified crypted string is then used in a Perl-script, which uses 'Crypt::CBC' and its 'Blowfish'-modul to translate that string back to the original text! The perl-script has to be something like: use Crypt::CBC; my $ciphertextHexed = "The string returned by the C program on stdout"; my $cipher = Crypt::CBC->new( -key => 'myArbitraryPassphraseWithMaxStringLenOf56', #The same as in the C program! #do I have to specify -keylen ? Everytime? Sometimes? Never? When? -cipher => 'Blowfish' ); print $cipher->decrypt(pack ("H*", $ciphertextHexed)); print "n";
