i'm no encryption expert here... but i devised a little encryption algorithm and programmed an encrypter and decrypter for it. i was wondering how secure you guys think it really is.
what it does, is it splits up the original data into 256-byte chunks and does seven iterations of the following on each chunk:
1. shift entire bit structure left by one bit
2. go through new bit structure two bits at a time, swapping them
3. XOR each byte of the result with the corresponding byte in the supplied passkey. (wrapping back to the beginning after it reaches the end of the key of course)
it's nothing special i know, but i just want to know if you guys think this is even halfway decent. i'm just doing this for the heck of it. bored i guess!
