that the encrypted ciphertext can be any of the N to the 256th power possibile clear/plain text messages/files.

That would be 256^N, actually, a somewhat bigger number generally speaking. I hope your cryptography is better than your combinatorics, but I (like a lot of others) doubt it. Why, in your challenge, is your system to be tested by only US citizens? Why not submit it to the NSA and in 15 days you could get a CJR for it... then the c'punks in France, Germany and News Zealand could work on it too, and you will have saved a lot of time.
