All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Key
```
public class BlowfishKey
extends Object
implements Key
```

- Constructor Detail
  - BlowfishKey
```
public BlowfishKey()
```
    Constructs a new symmetric key for the Blowfish cipher. The key is computed from a default code; that is to say two instances created by using this constructor are equal.
  - BlowfishKey
```
public BlowfishKey(String keyCode)
```
    Constructs a new symmetric key for the Blowfish cypher from the specified key code in text.
    
    Parameters:
    
    keyCode - the code of the key. Must be in UTF-8.
  - BlowfishKey
```
public BlowfishKey(byte[] keyCode)
```
    Constructs a new symmetric key for the Blowfish cypher from the specified binary key code.
    
    Parameters:
    
    keyCode - the code of the key.
