cipherids = (password % NUM_CIPHERS); // choose one of 18 ciphers

The following are the ciphers:
"aes","blowfish","xtea","rc5","rc6","saferp","twofish","safer_k64","safer_sk64","safer_k128",
"safer_sk128","rc2","des3","cast5","noekeon","skipjack","khazad","anubis","rijndael"
But why?
Why not just AES? And do you realize how much RC2 sucks, and SAFER-(S)K64 has 64 bit key size?
does having different ciphers hurt? it allows short (user rememberable passwords to "salt" things)
unless any of these ciphers have been cracked, using them means that all the ciphers would need to be cracked.
using just AES means if AES is cracked then all the files are cracked.
so is having a sucky RC2 and a weak 64 bit layer in addition to AES worse than just AES?
