* Uses unpadded RSA in its authentication protocol

* Uses a novelty mode (IGE) for its bulk transport

* Does not appear to authenticate messages (other than by using IGE)

* Or, at least, what authentication it is doing must be happening after it decrypts data, not before

I could be wrong about any of these things, because again, 4 minutes. But this design does not look sturdy.
