I just recently downloaded copies of Blowfish & Ghost.
Does anyone have any experiance with these two algorithims?
Does anyone know how they are using Blowfish and why?
A program called F-Secure Desktop for Windows 3.x and Windows 95 is using Blowfish with 256-bit keys. It is meant for encrypting the files on your hard disk and it works nicely together with Windows File Manager or Windows95 shell. I would say it is one of the best strong and easy to use HD encryption programs (only that it costs $$). It is manufactured by Datafellows, who is also distributing F-Secure SSH. You can download the demo version at http://www.datafellows.com/f-secure/ Why they are using it: may be because it is fast on Intel Pentium and Pentium Pro processors, as discussed in Applied Cryptography?
