AES	J. Daemen, V. Rijmen	256	128	XTS
Serpent	R. Anderson, E. Biham, L. Knudsen	256	128	XTS
Twofish	B. Schneier, J. Kelsey, D. Whiting, D. Wagner, C. Hall, N. Ferguson	256	128	XTS
AES-Twofish		256; 256	128	XTS
AES-Twofish-Serpent		256; 256; 256	128	XTS
Serpent-AES		256; 256	128	XTS
Serpent-Twofish-AES		256; 256; 256	128	XTS
Twofish-Serpent		256; 256	128	XTS
