Crypto BlowfishKeySize
The Blowfish encryption algorithm was meant as a drop-in replacement for DES and was created in 1993. Smaller key sizes may make the ciphertext vulnerable to [birthday attacks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_attack). While no known attacks against Blowfish exist, it should never be used to encrypt files over 4GB in size. If possible consider using AE
