While I can't answer this directly (I'm not all that familiar with
encryption and techniques), there is a rather nice document written by one
of our resellers that's available to anyone that wants it... It's written
with Delphi in mind, but this should give you a shot.

Apologies for the format, it's a .doc file (word), I'm trying to PDF-ize it.
You can grab it here:

Thank you Christine Warner :)

BTW - our suggestion is that you use Blowfish, it's faster, stronger
encryption.
