Blowfish encryption algorithm
The blowfish encryption algorithm is a symmetric encryption algorithm designed by Bruce Schneier in
1993 as an alternative to existing encryption algorithms, such as DES.
Handy Backup has blowfish encryption algorithm, some other programs may also employ DES or even 3DES.
The blowfish encryption algorithm is a 64-bit block cipher
(i.e., a cryptographic key and algorithm are applied to a block of data rather than single bits)
that uses a key length that can vary between 32 and 448 bits. Blowfish is available for free use by any,
and the technology is unpatented and free of license.
