Having said that, most cryptography isn’t like that. There’s no proof that AES is secure, just that it creates a lot of muddle that nobody yet knows how to untangle. There’s no proof for the common public key schemes, either. They depend on the difficulty of things like factoring large numbers—and we don’t have a proof that that is as difficult as it currently seems.
