Blowfish is a block cipher that operates on 64 bit (8 byte) blocks of data.
It uses a variable size key, but typically, 128 bit (16 byte) keys are
-a considered good for strong encryption. Blowfish can be used in the same
+considered good for strong encryption. Blowfish can be used in the same
modes as DES (see L<des_modes(7)|des_modes(7)>). Blowfish is currently one
of the faster block ciphers. It is quite a bit faster than DES, and much
faster than IDEA or RC2.

Applications should use the higher level functions

-blowfish functions directly.
