Generate Key using BlowFish Algorithm in Java

Condition for Generate Key using BlowFish Algorithm in Java

  • Description:
    To generate a key using the Blowfish algorithm in Java, the KeyGeneration class from the javax.crypto package is typically used. First, an instance of KeyGenerator is created by specifying the Blowfish algorithm with KeyGenerator.getInstance("Blowfish"). The key size, which can range from 32 bits to 448 bits, is then set using keyGenerator.init(). Once the KeyGenerator is initialized, the key is generated by calling generateKey(), which returns a SecretKey object that can be used for encryption and decryption. The key should be securely stored or managed, as Blowfish is a symmetric encryption algorithm that requires the same key for both encryption and decryption operations. The Cipher class can be used to perform Blowfish encryption and decryption with the generated key.
Sample Code
  • package JavaSamples2;
    import java.util.Base64;
    import javax.crypto.KeyGenerator;
    import javax.crypto.SecretKey;
    public class BlowFishKeyGen {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
    try {
    KeyGenerator keyGen = KeyGenerator.getInstance("Blowfish");
    keyGen.init(128);
    SecretKey secretKey = keyGen.generateKey();
    StringencodedKey=Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString(secretKey.getEncoded());
    System.out.println("Generated Blowfish Key : " + encodedKey);
    } catch (Exception e) {
    System.out.println(e.getMessage());
    }
    }
    }
