Hi!

While this is very interesting it does lack some use cases, like, why would
someone want to use this instead of CBC.

Also, some notes on your PDF dissertation:

 - You claim it corrupts plaintext on any error in ciphertext, can you provide
   some proof over that.

 - The IGE mode of operation could be explained better, at the moment it's
   quite terse. Same goes for BIGE.

 - "Note that the second part of this chaining sequence appears to be
   incorrectly specified in the original paper.", can you elaborate on
   this claim?

 - is there any research done on this algorithm other than that one paper
   wrote by Donescu and Gligor in 2000?
