Hi.
I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience trying to decrypt
files encrypted using Crypt_Blowfish with some other encryption software.
I have tested this out with other encryption software (eg. Blowfish
Advanced CS [http://www.hotpixel.net/software.html], OpenSSL32
[http://openssl32.sourceforge.net/]) but haven't had any success. I was
unable to decrypt files using the other software when they had been
encrypted with Crypt_Blowfish, and it seems rather obvious but I also
couldn't decrypt files with Crypt_Blowfish that were encrypted using the
other software.
Has anyone else tried to do this before?
Perhaps I need a lower level implementation of Blowfish for decrypting as
the software mentioned probably adds its own unique metadata (or something
similar).
Does anyone know if Crypt_Blowfish is designed to be able work in this way
or have any suggestions for getting around this?
An overview of the situation is that basically I'm after some way to
encrypt data on the server using Crypt_Blowfish and then be able to
decrypt the data on a local Windows machine which doesn't have PHP
installed.
Thanks in advance.
