Hi Perry,
You've brought up this claim at several points in this thread

There is a profession called cryptographer out there. They are the

They also laughed at Bozo the Clown.

Could you back up this
is a good idea or similar things. It
means listening to the experts, and if you don't understand something,
learning what they know so you have an informed basis for comment.

acceptable. (Well, not quite *any*. For various reasons you may want
the hamming distance between successive IVs to be large on average,
but this achieves that.)

Some very well-intentioned (and plenty smart) people at MIT

If the component (well respected etc etc) algorithms I have used
in GBDE contains flaws so that they become individually less
intrinsicly safe because their input is the output of another such
algorithm, then the crypto-world has problems they need
. I don't see why I should assume your
construction is any better. What do you know that the NIST/NSA review
of AES did not know?
