Another Dumb Idea for Debunking...

Hi, again.

I very much enjoyed the successful effort to debunk my last dumb idea
about polynomial time graph isomorphism detection. So, here's the
latest stupid thing I wrote up on another topic I know equally little
about: encryption.

I've gone ahead and written a new encryption program. I can't help it
- it was FUN. It's at tinycrypt.sourceforge.net. The main point is
very-fast file encryption, hopefully with good security. The code is
just 192 lines, most of which is simple file and buffer manipulation.

If you enjoy critiquing amateur work in encryption, I'd appreciate the
feedback. I'll try to describe the simple algorithm in detail on my
blog at www.billrocks.org/ideas over the next hour. Thanks!
