<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I'm not sure if you have other mitigating code, but I'd be concerned about calling two calls to MD5 on a passphrase a "derived key" - this would be very weak crypto.<br>

<div>I was thinking that is handled internally...<br>
<br>
</div>
however, this did the trick (for randomiv mode of operation):<br>
<br>
blowfish_key_from_key(Key) -><br>
Temp = crypto:md5(Key),<br>
blowfish_key_from_key1(Temp).<br>
<br>
blowfish_key_from_key1(Temp) when size(Temp) < 56 -><br>
Temp1 = crypto:md5(Temp),<br>
blowfish_key_from_key1(<<Temp/binary, Temp1/binary>>);<br>
<br>
blowfish_key_from_key1(Temp) -> <br>
<<Temp1:56/binary, _Rest/bitstring>> = Temp,<br>
Temp1.<br>
<br>
</div>
I think that crypto should have this kind oh helper functions<br>
</div>
because , like in cases of blowfish cipher , whose key length can<br>
</div>
be variable, could be useful in using the cipher correctly, and people <br>
</div>
would know that some things are not implied.<br>
<br>

Hello,<br>
<br>
Yes, this want I thought. You are using wrong key to decrypt data on Erlang side.<br>
<br>
Please notice that<br>
<br>
“Crypt::CBC can derive the key and the IV from a passphrase that you provide, or can let you specify the true key and IV manually…<br>
<br>
The -key argument provides either a passphrase to use to generate the encryption key, or the literal value of the block cipher key. If used in passphrase mode (which is the default), -key can be any number of characters; the actual key will be derived by passing
the passphrase through a series of MD5 hash operations.”<br>
<br>
So, in your example Key is not an encryption key, this is a pass-phrase. The Erlang’s implementation expects that you provides actual key.<br>
<br>
I do not know how perl’s Crypt::CBC derives the key from perspires. You can either reverse engineer that piece of code or you can use literal key.<br>
<br>
<br>
Best Regards,<br>
Dmitry<br>
