>I have started testing using an AES encryption/decryption class that is accessed through a dot-net bridge (wwClient tools). It works but do not know which AES is it using - AES256 or AES128 etc. I asked the author (Rick Strahl) but he said the class being called in .Net just says "AES". He worked in this option to his encryption routines as a favor (I think).

I think the key size determines the number... so a 256 byte key is AES 256. Depending on the sub protocol (ECB, CDS etc.) the key may auto-pad, but ideally a key is generated to the specific size required for the algorithm.
