[Qt-interest] cascaded encryption with AES, Twofish, Serpent - how to create keys in secure way

Hello!
I'm developing a simple app using QT and Botan. I would like to implement
"cascaded encryption" using  AES, Twofish and Serpent (like in truecrypt).
I know that I must create a "Pipe" or "Chain" with three cipher objects. The
encryption scheme should use a single password for  all the ciphers listed.
How to create keys for these three ciphers from the password in secure
way??? I know that using single key for multiple encryption algorithms is
rather insecure... This will be an open-source app.
Thanks in advance
