Blowfish
What is Blowfish?
A symmetric block cipher algorithm designed as a fast, free alternative to existing encryption methods. While once popular, it has largely been superseded by AES for most applications.
Frameworks that govern blowfish
What the standards actually require on blowfish
Requirements naming blowfish across this standard, quoted from the control text.
The handbook's tables set the choices. Key exchange or encapsulation: ML-KEM recommended, deployed together with ECDH; FrodoKEM and Classic McEliece acceptable as more conservative but not yet standardised, at level 5 or 3 parameters;

Why is Blowfish important for compliance?
Blowfish is a key concept in Information Security. Understanding blowfish helps organizations meet regulatory requirements, reduce risk, and demonstrate due diligence during audits. Our compliance platform maps 1,016 frameworks with 316K cross-framework control mappings.
Which compliance frameworks address Blowfish?
Blowfish appears in the requirement text of Netherlands PQC Migration Handbook (AIVD, CWI, TNO, 2nd Edition 2024). Across these standards we have identified 1 control that names it directly, each linked to the control text on the compliance platform.
