What do cryptographers have to say about this?<p>Also, it is not really triple encrypting anything. For example, lets say we have 3 functions x+7, x<i>3, x/9 and we apply these in turn to a secret value x. Is it triple calculated? Or triple encrypted? Or have we just created a new untested algorithm called (x+7)</i>3 /9? And note that we could simplify this to 1/3 * (x+7).<p>If you think of encryption as a twisting and tangling process, how do you know that the subsequent steps don't do some untwisted and untangling, in effect canceling out early encryption?
