Comment: "What do you mean by 'extensive research'." Reply: Benchmark tests. Source code comparisons. Documentations of other algorithms. "Applied Cryptography".
So you have read applied cryptography and decided that qualifies you as a cryptographer?
Comment: "I've never even heard of IMDMP before. Is this a joke?" Reply: UDCM (IMDMP) came out January 1st, 1997. How do you think successful companies start anyway, with millions of dollars upfront? DataET Research is a relatively new company.
No new company should be dabbling with new algorithms, an assurance of a high probability of security comes with years of attempted cryptanalysis.
Comment: "What kind of industry standard is IMDMP above?" Reply: 128-bit encryption. Average DES is 128. PGP tops 1024. IDEA goes at 128. RSA the same. Full security IMDMP is 2048-bit. Any other questions?
This is irrelevant rubbish, if there is a cryptanalytic attack on your algorithm a brute force attack becomes unecessary and key size is not of consequence.
