But luckily there is the Blowfish algorithm. As stated by its creator Bruce Schneier '' "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."'' |
So lets make good use of the generosity and have ourselves a free, fully open source ([[Gplv3]]) implementation of the Blowfish algorithm. | So lets make good use of the generosity and have ourselves a free, fully open source ([[Gplv3]]) implementation of the Blowfish algorithm. | ||
