[ Encrypt_BlowFish ]
[Encrypt_BlowFish] encrypts a string.
Accepts two parameters, a string to be encrypted and a -Seed keyword with the key or password for the encryption. Ideally, the -Seed should be a long phrase rather than a simple password. The exact same -Seed must be used when decrypting the text using [Decrypt_BlowFish].
If the seed is forgotten there is no way to retrieve the original value of the encrypted text.
Note: The BlowFish methods are not binary-data safe. The encrypted string will be truncated at the first null character. To encrypt binary data first pass it through the [Encode_Base64] or [Encode_UTF8] method.
The [Encrypt_BlowFish] method returns a [bytes] type.

To encrypt a string using the BlowFish algorithm:
Use the [Encrypt_BlowFish] method with a long -Seed argument. The following method encrypts a phrase using a whimsical -Seed argument.
Note the method returns a bytes type. The encodeHex method is performed on the result to return a URL-safe result.
Code
Encrypt_Blowfish(
-Seed='I sell rhino fertilizer down by the sea shore!',
'The quick brown fox jumped over the running rhino.'
)->encodeHexResult
