Is this any better than AES-ECB, then

The interest isn't in any comparison with AES, it's that Red Pike is a classified GCHQ-designed cipher from the crypto wars. The code matches the description by Ross Anderson and Markus Kuhn, but if it's non-genuine then it could just have been implemented to make sure that it matches the description. It looks like a tweaked TEA-like cipher. If it is genuine and it's from GCHQ, maybe it's EnglishBreakfastTEA. Peter.
