You will find that sci.crypt is a much more appropriate newsgroup for
cryptography.

Before posting there you need to check that your proposed algorithm is
proof against Differential Cryptography, Sliding Key attacks and all
the usual things to be expected of a reasonably secure crypto system.
We already have free, tested crypto systems which can resist such
attacks -- AES or Rabbit for example.

Patented crypto systems are usually avoided.  There are many high
quality unpatented crypto options.

Unless your proposed system is faster (you *have* measured its speed,
haven't you?) or more secure than existing crypto systems then its
only use of for your own learning or amusement.
