Remember: You should never been on the bleeding edge with crypto. It takes years to find attacks in ciphers, and more years to find attacks in implementations.

Never roll your on crypto. Always move slow and trust the process.

This is not a new cipher. The approach is actually very conservative.

Moving slow is fine, but the reality is that the current options are not great for today's use cases. They're very easy to use insecurely.

Ironically, this is exactly what I'm warning about.
