Overview

This class is part of a private API. You should avoid using this class if possible, as it may be removed or be changed in the future.

DH-BLOWFISH is a combination of Diffie-Hellman key exchange and the Blowfish encryption algorithm. Due to its nature it is more secure than transmitting the password unencrypted and can be used on potentially insecure networks.
