The good:
 * Yet another viewer for players.
 * A "strong encryption mechanism that is used" to secure the program should the user require such feature.
 * Potentially lightweight viewer compared to some other ones.

The bad:
 * There are several kancolle viewers available for the end user with each one boasting its specific advantages over the other. The only key benefit to this viewer is the encryption mechanism to secure the use of the program, is mentioned. Other features offered with alternative viewers offers potentially more benefits to the end user (especially to a novice and/or someone who cannot read Japanese).
 * The so-called encryption mechanism doesn't seem to be discussed in detail, effectively nobody knows how secure is secure unless you are talking about using AES-256 which is probably an overkill for something that is to be used amongst gamers. Besides, internet transactions between viewers and websites for instance are usually transmitted in plaintext unless the site specifically indicated the use of SSL mechanism, thereby MiTM attacks are still theoretically possible and thereby potentially nullifying any security mechanism this program may offer over its competitors.
 * This program seems to be Microsoft Windows specific which means that it isn't necessarily compatible with other platforms such as (and are not limited to) Apple Macintosh as well as Linux. Other viewers can either work with Microsoft Windows only and/or other platforms but they generally provide more features. I personally cannot test this viewer for instance because I don't happen to be running Microsoft Windows.
 * This viewer may suffer the same fate as one other popular viewer which seems to heavily rely on .NET framework. With the advent of Windows 10 being deployed worldwide and their "Edge" browser, using viewers that depends on old(er) .NET framework may incur performance penalties.
 * The viewer appears to be closed source, other more popular viewers are open source. Discussions on strengths and weaknesses for both of these choices are generally lengthy so I will omit that here (for now).

The ugly:
 * The only visible key benefits are that it is lightweight and it offers encryption mechanism. Again, plenty of other viewers (especially popular ones) may not offer same features as what this appears to uniquely possess however time might be better spent on maintaining/improving other viewers as opposed to developing yet another viewer for the game.
 * Built-in strong encryption mechanism for the sole purpose of basically preventing any potential user errors, in hindsight is really an unnecessary feature should the user be more adept at computing. Simple security measures that an adept computer user could use on a more regular basis makes an extra layer of protection redundant. Even worse, there are potentially other ways for one to gain unauthorised access to someone else's account and it doesn't necessarily involve hacking the program itself.
 * There are scare stories that are still roaming around with regards to the use of viewers which may result in one getting banned from playing kancolle altogether. This scare is often used crudely speaking across all and any viewers. Whilst this program seems to lack source codes. Unless you are prepared to take a stance in somehow defending that your viewer is only a "passive" viewer - i.e. it does not inject packets without user's permission, gaining a foothold within what is largely now a crowded market for kancolle viewers, you may struggle.

All in all the idea of another viewer is generally sound however, unless you are willing to rectify such issues you may have difficulties in gaining attention for your work. I am not trying to go against your viewer but rather offering an unbiased sort of opinion on the viewers in general.

If you weren't aware that there were other viewers made available here are some of the viewers (however, this list is by no means exhaustive):
 * KC3 Kai - which works across virtually any platform that is capable of running Chrome/Chromium
 * Kancolle Viewer (typically abbreviated as KCV) - works mainly on Microsoft Windows as it also relies on .NET framework but is more feature rich. The original developer no longer actively maintains the project but the project itself still has at least two popular and maintained "forks"
 * Electronic Observer - a more actively maintained variation of KCV using on similar "fiddler" core. Again, mainly Microsoft Windows agnostic due to its natural dependency for .NET framework
 * Logbook - Java based which potentially means it is cross-platform compatible.
 * Poi Poi Poi - Scalable KanColle browser and tool. A non-.NET framework dependent viewer which mimics the look of KCV.
 * Kancolle Launcher - based around Chrome/Chromium (similar to how KC3 Kai works) it is a simple viewer which looks similar to what your program appears to offer minus encryption capabilities.
 * Kancolle Tool - Yet another viewer
