ID

scala.cryptography.scala_crypto_rule_blowfishkeysize

Severity

low

Resource

Cryptography

Language

Scala

Description

A small key size makes the ciphertext vulnerable to brute force attacks. At least 128 bits of entropy should be used when generating the key if use of Blowfish is required.

Rationale

A small key size makes the ciphertext vulnerable to brute force attacks. At least 128 bits of entropy should be used when generating the key if use of Blowfish is required.
