Writing your own crypto functions is a bad idea, unless you work for the NSA or similar. It takes a long time to make one work half-decent and a very long time to make it work well (plus a lot of complicated math involved). Google around and find what functions the government is [publicly] using. If you're just looking for a hashing algorithm, SHA-<number> is probably a good bet
