Yes ... I realize that.
Depends on the state of the crypto library.
If done correctly it can be as secure as using an existing and proven solution.
The problem is the IF above ... that is a big if, and one can make big mistakes
 by using the crypto libraries in a wrong way.
Using them securely is not a trivial task, and it is not to be taken lightly.

Great that Magicka supports SSH!
