This mailing list is about implementation of cryptosystems in linux, and is not as much about security of any single cryptosystems, unless it is included in or planed to be in the linux kernel or linux application. So your question is not that terribly on-topic. Other places would be more appropirate, and more likely to give you a better answer, if that is what you want. The sci.crypt newsgroup is one such place.

Also, If this is to be taken seriously, you need to give more details, like the algorithm, encoding scheme and other details of your system. A basic assumption is cryptology is that the adversary know everything except one piece of secret information - the key you used for encryption. The history has proved that such information almost always leaks out or are reverse engineered anyway. It is known as "security by obscurity". Even if you think your system is secure with all detailes published, but don't do it "just in case", you are still limiting the number of people that can analyze the system. The GSM mobile phone encryption (which is broken) is an example of such a system.

Since the question implies that you lack some knowledge in crytology, I would recomend to buy some books on the topic. Bruce Schneiers "Applied cryptography" is one such book. The book "Handbook of Applied cryptography" (Menezes et al) is a little bit harder to read, but is freely downloadable on the net (http://www.cacr.math.uwaterloo.ca/hac/). Both of them are a little bit old (both 1996 i think), but still covers the basics. They lack some of the newer algorithms though.

(BTW: On sci.crypt you would be flamed to charcoal with a question like yours)
