One-time-use random data XOR your data = provably secure symmetric crypto, afaik. I could try to hunt down a proof of that one. Impractical, sure, but provable.

Also afaik, others haven't been proven / can only be proven to have certain qualities, and leave gaps which have massive real-world implication. So yeah, I'm curious for other proofs too.

One time pads are currently the only provable "unbreakable" encryption. The proof is trivial.
