Blowfish encryption from RPG

[Guest.Visitor]

Try http://www.schneier.com/resources.html he developed both blowfish and the more secure twofish. There should at least be a C version that can be prototyped and used in RPG.

I believe the Blowfish source code is open so if I can get a C version compiled on the iSeries it may prove to be a suitable alternative. Thanks for the idea.

iSeries Network had a Twofish Article (http://www.iseriesnetwork.com/resources/artarchive/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewarticle&CO_ContentID=3325) in Feb 2000, article ID 3325. http://www.iseriesnetwork.com/resources/artarchive/index.cfm?fuseaction=viewarticle&CO_ContentID=3325 I hope this helps.

I need to encrypt transactions received from another hardware platform using the Blowfish encryption algorithm. However, I can not find any APIs that do Blowfish other than a java class named BlowfishCipher. Having no experience with calling java classes from RPG I'd prefer to stay away from java if there is an alternative. Does anybody have any experience with Blowfish encryption from RPG?
