Perhaps you're looking for the default algo's when the Alternate Install
CD does "whole disk, guided encrypted LVM" install?  If so, open a
terminal and enter the following:

#################################################
[jason at localhost] $ sudo cryptsetup luksDump /dev/sda1
[sudo] password for jason:
LUKS header information for /dev/sda1

Version:       	1
Cipher name:   	aes
Cipher mode:   	cbc-essiv:sha256
Hash spec:     	sha1
Payload offset:	2056
MK bits:       	256
...snip...
#################################################

This assumes that your encrypted drive is /dev/sda1...

hth,

Jason.
