Re: comments on cipher please

<snip>
No would you PLEASE read Bruce Schneier's comment about amateur
cryptographers? He explicitly tells why your break-fix-break-fix-cycle is
utterly nonsense.
<end snip>

why does everyone assume i have not read the available material? I have read
that comment and i am even a member of his mailing list. in his comment he
says that the likelyhood of an amateur design being secure is highly
unlikely verging on the impossible. that is not to say that it doesnt
happen, it is saying that the likelyhood of an amateur designing a secure
cipher is 1 in several billion.
