1. blowfish

   Blowfish is an encryption algorithm that was designed by Bruce Schneier in 1993 as a fast, free alternative to existing encryption algorithms. It is a symmetric (secret key) block cipher that uses a variable-length key, from 32 bits to 448 bits, and is suitable for applications where the key does not change often. It is known for its simplicity, speed and security but is not recommended for new applications due to its small block size.

1. Blowfish

   Blowfish is a keyed, symmetric block cipher, designed in 1993 by Bruce Schneier and included in a large number of cipher suites and encryption products. Blowfish provides a good encryption rate in software and no effective cryptanalysis of it has been found to date. However, the Advanced Encryption Standard now receives more attention. Schneier designed Blowfish as a general-purpose algorithm, intended as an alternative to the aging DES and free of the problems and constraints associated with other algorithms. At the time Blowfish was released, many other designs were proprietary, encumbered by patents or were commercial/government secrets. Schneier has stated that, "Blowfish is unpatented, and will remain so in all countries. The algorithm is hereby placed in the public domain, and can be freely used by anyone." Notable features of the design include key-dependent S-boxes and a highly complex key schedule.
