i faintly remember that one of these two algos, twofish or blowfish,
is not to be used for large amounts of data, like 200 GB or so. i
don't recall the speficics, only remember that there was some kind of
catch to it. any info on this would be greatly appreciated.
i think it was a general issue with block-ciphers, as detailed here:

(in german, look for the "Alternativen" part of the essay)
ack again, different algos -> common sense. in fact, i only know of
multi enc using the same algo in theory, not one single real world
case.
the CryptoPhone uses 2 different ciphers: AES256 and Twofish:

however i don't know if anyone actually uses it.
