C#: Blowfish doesnt work with fewer letters

Question

I'm using Blowfish.NET newest version,but there is one problem.

responce = new byte[6]
{
     0x00, 0x80 ,0x01, 0x61, 0x00, 0x00
};
byte[] encrypted = new byte[responce.Length];
blowfish.Encrypt(responce, 2, encrypted, 2, input.Length - 2);

I called it the right way,I want it to start read/write from the third byte and the length is 6 - 2,because i dont use two bytes.

The problem:

        public int Encrypt(
        byte[] dataIn,
        int posIn,
        byte[] dataOut,
        int posOut,
        int count) 
    {
        uint[] sbox1 = this.sbox1;
        uint[] sbox2 = this.sbox2;
        uint[] sbox3 = this.sbox3;
        uint[] sbox4 = this.sbox4;

        uint[] pbox = this.pbox;

        uint pbox00 = pbox[ 0];
        uint pbox01 = pbox[ 1];
        uint pbox02 = pbox[ 2];
        uint pbox03 = pbox[ 3];
        uint pbox04 = pbox[ 4];
        uint pbox05 = pbox[ 5];
        uint pbox06 = pbox[ 6];
        uint pbox07 = pbox[ 7];
        uint pbox08 = pbox[ 8];
        uint pbox09 = pbox[ 9];
        uint pbox10 = pbox[10];
        uint pbox11 = pbox[11];
        uint pbox12 = pbox[12];
        uint pbox13 = pbox[13];
        uint pbox14 = pbox[14];
        uint pbox15 = pbox[15];
        uint pbox16 = pbox[16];
        uint pbox17 = pbox[17]; // till this line count is 4

        count &= ~(BLOCK_SIZE - 1); //count becomes 0 after that calc :((

        int end = posIn + count; // 2 + 0 = 2

        while (posIn < end) //no loop :[
        {
            uint hi = (((uint)dataIn[posIn + 3]) << 24) |
                      (((uint)dataIn[posIn + 2]) << 16) |
                      (((uint)dataIn[posIn + 1]) <<  8) |
                              dataIn[posIn    ];

            uint lo = (((uint)dataIn[posIn + 7]) << 24) |
                      (((uint)dataIn[posIn + 6]) << 16) |
                      (((uint)dataIn[posIn + 5]) <<  8) |
                              dataIn[posIn + 4];
            posIn += 8; 

            hi ^= pbox00;
            lo ^= (((sbox1[(int)(hi >> 24)] + sbox2[(int)((hi >> 16) & 0x0ff)]) ^ sbox3[(int)((hi >> 8) & 0x0ff)]) + sbox4[(int)(hi & 0x0ff)]) ^ pbox01;

            dataOut[posOut    ] = (byte) lo;

            dataOut[posOut + 7] = (byte)(hi >> 24);

            dataOut[posOut + 5] = (byte)(hi >>  8);
            dataOut[posOut + 4] = (byte) hi;

            posOut += 8;
        }

        return count;
    }

The blowfish works fine if i pass longer data,but I need to encrypt this one.We've found the problem,but my question is:How to fix it?!

Answer 1

I'm not super familiar with the Blowfish algorithm or, for that matter, the library you're using. But, in general, I'd say that if you're having issues with your data not being long enough to encrypt, you could pad it. In other words... If you data isn't long enough, add a bunch of zeros (or some other character if zeros hold special meaning to you) to the beginning or end of the data before you encrypt it. Then, when you decrypt it, trim the padding characters.
