Coldfusion Encrypt() with Blowfish differs from Blowfish encryption in PHP and other languages

Asked by khusroks in Cold Fusion Markup Language, Encryption for Network Security, PHP and Databases

Tags: Coldfusion, Blowfish, encrypt, decrypt, php

The result of encrypt(myText, key, "BLOWFISH", "HEX") gives you a value that you can decrypt just fine in coldfusion, but not the same value as you would get if you ran the same encryption (blowfish, hex) using PHP. Basically I need to encrypt some text in coldfusion and send it over to an API that expects the value that PHP's blowfish encryption generates.

I've tried padding the myText variable with null characters to fill it so the length is a multiple of 8 (have to use URLDecode("%00") instead of char(0) as the null character, since char(0) doesn't actually increase the length of the string). But that doesn't seem to have much of any effect.

Essentially I'm trying to make the result of
encrypt(myText, key, "BLOWFISH", "HEX")
match what you get using this tool:
http://webnet77.com/cgi-bin/helpers/blowfish.pl
this tool seems to output the result that would be generated by php and what the API expects.

If someone can make the result of coldfusion's blowfish encryption match what you get using that tool above I would really appreciate it.
