Your problem is at the end of blowencrypt() and blowdecrypt(). You're
assuming that the result is a \0-terminated character string, while in
reality, it's a binary blob that may *contain* \0.
Also, I fail to understand why on *earth* you're doing all this
copying to a C++ string just to copy back to a C character array, when
you could do something as simple as this:
(for blowencrypt)
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup(&ctx);
memcpy(output, encodebuffer, tmplen);
return tmplen;
(for blowdecrypt)
EVP_CIPHER_CTX_cleanup(&ctx);
memcpy(output, decodebuffer, tmplen);
Cheers,
Richard
