encrbfsh(7M)

NAME

     encrbfsh -  Blowfish-CBC  Encryption  Algorithm  Module  for
     IPsec

SYNOPSIS

     strmod/encrbfsh

DESCRIPTION

     This module implements Blowfish, a cipher developed by Bruce
     Schneier,  for  IPsec. The encrbfsh module uses cipher-block
     chaining ("CBC") pursuant to RFC 2451.  This module has  the
     following properties:

     Key Size
           32 to 448 bits.  Keys are encoded internally  as  448-
           bit  quantities.  A  smaller  key size will repeat its
           pattern until 448 bits are reached.

     Block Size
           64 bits.
