keylen	Key byte stream length in bytes.
pCtx	Pointer to the IppsBlowfishSpec context being initialized.

Description

This function is declared in the ippcp.h file. The function initializes the memory pointed by pCtx as the IppsBlowfishSpec context. In addition, the function uses the key to provide all necessary key material for both encryption and decryption operations.
