Here is a message encrypted using BlowfishNET. The key used for encryption is "Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890".
IV is not specified when the call is made to BlowfishNET. I store the encrypted message in a file called "BFSTest_encoded.csv".

When decrypted correctly it should look like this:

blowfishsimple,3030,encrypt,this,then,decrypt,1232,it0
blowfishsimple,3030,encrypt,this,then,decrypt,1232,it1
blowfishsimple,3030,encrypt,this,then,decrypt,1232,it2
blowfishsimple,3030,encrypt,this,then,decrypt,1232,it3
blowfishsimple,3030,encrypt,this,then,decrypt,1232,it4
blowfishsimple,3030,encrypt,this,then,decrypt,1232,it5

Below is the runnable program with which I am unsuccessfully trying to decrypt the encrypted message above.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

my $cCipher = "Blowfish";
my $cKey = q{Abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1234567890};
my $cIV = "randomiv";
my $cObject = Crypt::CBC->new({ key => $cKey, cipher => $cCipher });
croak( "Invalid cipher type for encryption" ) unless $cObject;

sub read_bytes {
    my ($fh, $to_read) = @_;
    my $buf = '';
    while ($to_read) {
        my $bytes_read = read($fh, $buf, $to_read, length($buf));
        die("$!\n") if !defined($bytes_read);
        die("Unexpected end of file\n") if !$bytes_read;
        $to_read -= $bytes_read;

Also, I am copying below the encrypt subroutine from the BlowfishSimple class. I apologize if this is of no use. I don't understand how it is padding the data. I assume encryption is performed in the following order:

• UTF-8 encoded
• Padded to next 8-byte block border (I am unsure about this) and Encrypted
• BASE64 encoded

We have taken your input and are encrypting the entire file as once. Therefore, the input to the BlowfishSimple class would be the entire file that needs to be encrypted.

public String Encrypt(String plainText)
{
    int i, origLen, len, mod;
    byte[] ueData, inBuf, outBuf, iv;


    ueData = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(plainText);

    origLen = ueData.Length;
    len = origLen;

    mod = len % BlowfishCBC.BLOCK_SIZE;
    len = (len - mod) + BlowfishCBC.BLOCK_SIZE;

    inBuf = new byte[len];

    Array.Copy(ueData, 0, inBuf, 0, origLen);

    i = len - (BlowfishCBC.BLOCK_SIZE - mod);
    
    while (i < len) 
    {   
        inBuf[i++] = (byte)mod;
    }

    outBuf = new byte[inBuf.Length + BlowfishCBC.BLOCK_SIZE];

    iv = new byte[BlowfishCBC.BLOCK_SIZE];
    this.rng.GetBytes(iv);
    this.bfc.IV = iv;

    this.bfc.Encrypt(
        inBuf, 
        0, 
        outBuf, 
        BlowfishCBC.BLOCK_SIZE, 
        inBuf.Length);

    Array.Copy(iv, 0, outBuf, 0, BlowfishCBC.BLOCK_SIZE);  

    String sResult = Convert.ToBase64String(outBuf);

    Array.Clear(inBuf, 0, inBuf.Length);

    return sResult;
}

Thank you for your help.
