Some time ago here in BoS was information about possible error in Blowfish encrypting. I contacted author of 32-bit OS/2 implementation of Blowfish, Matthew Spencer . His answer follows. AFAIK current OS/2 version is bfish151.zip, length 101441. Wednesday July 10 1996 from jolthead@VNET.IBM.COM to Harry Bush: j> Harry, j> Hello again. Thanks for the information. Actually, I already saw it j> (I follow sci.crypt), and checked my own code to make sure it did not j> have the problem. It seems the problem only applies to the original j> Blowfish source published in the April '94 DDJ. My very first version j> of blowfish used this source, but I updated it when the revised code j> came out in September '94. All the versions which I have publically j> released are fine. j> Thanks for thinking of me. Keep in touch. j> ___________________________________________________________________________ j> _ Matthew Spencer VNET:JOLTHEAD at IPNET j> Internet:jolthead@vnet.ibm.com Best wishes, Harry Thursday July 11 1996 20:17 * Crossposted in HARRY_NETMAIL * Crossposted in RU.CRYPT --- GoldEd/2 3.00.Alpha1+ * Origin: Harry Bush, Harry@castle.riga.lv (2:51/2)
