What binary representation? Cryptography is not "ring-fenced" in binary 
number work. You obviously have no understanding of current cryptographic 
methods at all.

You clearly don't even understand the term. Your encryption system is 
doomed.

Binary arithmetic has nothing to do with it. People encrypt and decrypt 
streams of bytes. Anything less than this is what is retrogressive.
