A symmetric block cipher designed in 1993 by Bruce Schneier. Was intended as a replacement for DES. Like DES it is a 16 round Feistel working on 64bit blocks. Can have bit sizes 32bits to 448bits.
- A . Skipjack
B. Blowfish
C. MD5
D. Serpent
Suggested Answer: B
Explanation:
Blowfish
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowfish_(cipher)
Blowfish is a symmetric-key block cipher, designed in 1993 by Bruce Schneier and included in many cipher suites and encryption products. Blowfish provides a good encryption rate in software and no effective cryptanalysis of it has been found to date. However, the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) now receives more attention, and Schneier recommends Twofish for modern applications.
Blowfish has a 64-bit block size and a variable key length from 32 bits up to 448 bits. It is a 16-round Feistel cipher and uses large key-dependent S-boxes.
