How can one determine the appropriate length for an initialization vector when used with the encrypt/decrypt functions in the CryptoUtil typelib?
I've done a little investigation and it seems that it's dependent upon the specific cipher one has selected. I realize that there are (currently) 119 ciphers supported, but can you provide some general information about how one could/should do this?

Inappropriate?We didn't do anything special to make all those algorithms available; we simply wrapped a standard crypto library and put it into the utility typelib.
I know we've used several of the 'popular' ciphers, so I'll see if I can dig up any sample code for AES, DES, Triple-DES, Blowfish, and Twofish.
When you know what cipher you're going to use, you can usually find good information about it other places.
