Sure, this is advice along the lines of "don't design your own cipher".
Only more so.
Entertainingly, he's entering the field from mathematical cryptography; so "don't design your own cipher" is precisely the wrong analogy to use here :-)
"mathematical cryptography"? What other sort of cryptography is there?
It used to be the domain of the linguists... But you're correct; nowadays, I'm using mathematical cryptography as a short hand for "y'know, like, real cryptography, not just messing around with symbols to impress you friends".
Ah, OK!
It's possible in that case that I may actually know your friend, if they happened to touch on some of the same parts of the field as me.
No extra clues :-)
