Description

mcrypt_module_get_supported_key_sizes(string $algorithm, string $lib_dir = ?): array

Returns an array with the key sizes supported by the specified algorithm. If it returns an empty array then all key sizes between 1 and mcrypt_module_get_algo_key_size() are supported by the algorithm.

A small bit of php for listing available encryption algorythms and their keysizes.

<?php
$cipher_dir = "/usr/local/lib/libmcrypt";
$algorithms = mcrypt_list_algorithms($cipher_dir);
echo "<html><head></head><body><table><tr>\n";
foreach ($algorithms as $cipher) {
        echo "<td>" . $cipher . "</td><td>";
        $ksizes = mcrypt_module_get_supported_key_sizes($cipher, $cipher_dir);
        if($ksizes==NULL) echo mcrypt_module_get_algo_key_size($cipher, $cipher_dir);
        else foreach ($ksizes as $size) {
                echo $size . " ";
        }
        echo "</td></tr>\n";
}
echo "</table></body></html>\n";
?>

I hope some one finds it handy.
