Rolling your own crypto routines of any variety is in the same category as representing yourself in a murder trial.

Given that this is a person interested in cryptography trying something for an experiment, I don't think it deserves the "don't roll your own" hammer.

Thanks, much appreciated. I'm not claiming to know everything, far from it. However, given this simple but interesting device (see other comments for details) I prefer to keep things simple. This is my attempt at simple-but-correct. :-)
