      36 private int keysize = 7; // default keysize (in number of bytes)
      56 bits default blowfish key is too short to be useful, I propose to
      make default key length to be 128 bits (should update jce doc accordingly)
      => 36 private int keysize = 15; // default keysize (in number of bytes)
