The cipher operates on 64 bit (8 byte) blocks of data and uses a
variable size key. Keys with 128 bits (16 bytes) are considered good
-for strong encryption. Blowfish can be used in the same modes as DES

The plugin includes a Scheme procedure to feed bytes from a binary
input port to the library, and write the encrypted bytes to a binary
