There are many encryption algorithms on the market today, and most of them are patented or secret. Some are open but need royalties to use them. 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."'' | There are many encryption algorithms on the market today, and most of them are patented or secret.

I am lazy now so my whole explanation and analysis of the source code will be done later. But here is a good wiki link [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowfish_(cipher) Blowfish Wikipedia] | I am lazy now so my whole explanation and analysis of the source code will be done later.
