=head1 NAME

Net::SSH::Perl::Cipher::Blowfish - Wrapper for SSH Blowfish support

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Net::SSH::Perl::Cipher;
    my $cipher = Net::SSH::Perl::Cipher->new('Blowfish', $key);
    print $cipher->encrypt($plaintext);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

I<Net::SSH::Perl::Cipher::Blowfish> provides Blowfish encryption
support for I<Net::SSH::Perl>. To do so it wraps around 
I<Crypt::Cipher::Blowfish> from the CryptX module.

The blowfish used here is in CBC filter mode with a key length
of 32 bytes.

SSH1 adds an extra wrinkle with respect to its blowfish algorithm:
before and after encryption/decryption, we have to swap the bytes
in the string to be encrypted/decrypted. The byte-swapping is done
four bytes at a time, and within each of those four-byte blocks
we reverse the bytes. So, for example, the string C<foobarba>
turns into C<boofabra>. We swap the bytes in this manner in the
string before we encrypt/decrypt it, and swap the
encrypted/decrypted string again when we get it back.

This byte-swapping is not done when Blowfish is used in the
SSH2 protocol.
