Doubt about blowfish keysize

["Salatiel Filho" <salatiel.filho@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi guys , can anyone tell me why my blowfish module supports
max key size = 56 ? Shouldn't be possible blowfish untill 448 bits ?


# cat /proc/crypto
name         : md5
driver       : md5-generic
module       : kernel
priority     : 0
type         : digest
blocksize    : 64
digestsize   : 16

name         : sha1
driver       : sha1-generic
module       : kernel
priority     : 0
type         : digest
blocksize    : 64
digestsize   : 20

name         : arc4
driver       : arc4-generic
module       : kernel
priority     : 0
type         : cipher
blocksize    : 1
min keysize  : 1
max keysize  : 256

name         : blowfish
driver       : blowfish-generic
module       : blowfish
priority     : 0
type         : cipher
blocksize    : 8
min keysize  : 4
max keysize  : 56
