It doesn't seem to me to be very novel, just a rearrangement of well-known, understood and time-tested primitives.
The implementation will almost certainly have bugs of course, but all software does. If your security depends on this feature you must evaluate it yourself.

Agreed, hence why I wrote "new cryptographic protocols". I meant that this is a new protocol using cryptography, not new cryptographic protocols. Sorry. Although, exactly what the protocol is is unclear. It seems you need to read the code to figure that out (?).

Gah... s/\(not new cryptographic\) protocols/\1 primitives/
