Just wondering (keep in mind i know little about crypto)if you people could help
me understand why the command 
cat /proc/crypto produces such low values on the maximum key size.
for example i though twofish's key size was 256 but its telling me its 32??

name         : twofish
driver       : twofish-i586
module       : kernel
priority     : 200
refcnt       : 1
type         : cipher
blocksize    : 16
min keysize  : 16
max keysize  : 32

none of the keys i have seem to have very high bits for example aes 
name         : aes
driver       : aes-generic
module       : kernel
priority     : 100
refcnt       : 1
type         : cipher
blocksize    : 16
min keysize  : 16
max keysize  : 32
