I'd recommend ignoring blowfish and implementing AES (rijndael) if there
isn't such a module already.  Blowfish's creator, I believe, considers
blowfish too immature for production use.  AES is going to be the one
getting the scrutiny now.

I am afraid that AES is a bit too hard to implement?
I havn't tried, I've written a few cryto programs in C++ before(A
"one-touch-pad" type, and an RSA prog), but nothing advanced when it
comes to symmetrical cyphers.
If anything , the math might be a bit too much for me..
Got any good pages on AES then? Maybe I'll write both...:)
