Nullsoft's WASTE communication system

[Zooko]

What do you folks think about Anubis [1] ?

I don't understand the maths, but I would *like* to think that Rijndael's 
positive results (mostly, its lack of negative results) would apply to Anubis 
while Rijndael's negatives (such as the hypothetical algebraic solution) 
wouldn't.
