Default Transfer encryption

Aah, Yes.. I finally had time to write that blowfish encryption for ftp (on win32), which allows secure transfers at very high speeds. (fxp is possible as well)

As I had performance in priority #1 when designing this algorithm, I decided to use two different encryption methods:
1. BF_cbc_encrypt(), which encrypts data in 8byte blocks - used to encrypt/decrypt most of transfer.
2. BF_cfc64_encrypt(), encrypts 1byte at time - used to encrypt/decrypt block at the end of file, if it isn't dividable by 8.

Performance comparison for uploads:
RAW: 50mb/sec (Peak)
BF: 40mb/sec
Downloads:
RAW: 45mb/sec
BF: 45mb/sec


Raw:

ftp> get GAME.REZ nul
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for GAME.REZ.
226 [PWD: /pub/games/No One Lives Forever 2/ ]-[Section: Default]-[Credits: -2209.4M]-[Ratio: Unlimited]-[Speed: 43113.7kb/s]
ftp: 224475015 bytes received in 5,09Seconds 44127,19Kbytes/sec.

Blowfish (1 byte key, in secret key algorithms key size doesn't have anything to do with encryption speed):

ftp> quote bfk 1,1
200 Blowfish key set.
ftp> get GAME.REZ nul
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening BINARY mode data connection for GAME.REZ.
226 [PWD: /pub/games/No One Lives Forever 2/ ]-[Section: Default]-[Credits: -2209.4M]-[Ratio: Unlimited]-[Speed: 43740.1kb/s]
ftp: 224475015 bytes received in 5,01Seconds 44832,24Kbytes/sec.

Valid blowfish implementation must use TLS or SSL control connection as base - secret keys are transfered as plain text via this channel.

I will post documented C examples for non-blocking reading & writing, and better documentation later this week. (Full daemon implementation in C took less than 230lines of commented code & it was done in 7hours).

Any Questions/Comments?

what ftpd support this?
and just fyi, in case you didn't know, FlashFXP is written in delphi, so if you implied that FlashFXP can use that code it won't work

Code is very simple.. I'm sure it's nothing these guys couldn't handle.
