If you take note of the options, another possibility presents itself.
Notice that there are groups of common algorithms, differing only in
size.  You could have each group form a menu, with a submenu for the
sizes, e.g.:

  Choose Algorithm family: 1: DES, 2: RC2, 3, AES, (c)lear?

Then, you'd get one of:

  1: DES, 2: Triple-DES, (c)lear?
  1: RC2-40, 2: RC2-64, 3: RC2-128, (c)lear?
  1: AES128, 2: AES192, 3: AES256, (c)lear? 
 
What do you think of that idea?
