I'm building a desktop application intended to encrypt and decrypt file for users. I would like to let them choose the algorithm.

crypto.getCiphers() will return a list of supported algrithoms, but is there a way to know each algrithoms' Key and IV length? For example, aes256 will be 32 and 16 repectively.

@schoche Thanks, but I still don't know the length of key and IV for each supported algorithm – user6456568 Nov 09 '18 at 08:30
are you looking for a specific one? in TLS 1.3 there is only 5 cipher suite available? – kelalaka Nov 09 '18 at 13:27
