He claims his cipher cannot be broken at all, no matter how many supercomputers you use (unconditional security). That is complete rubbish. Any calculation can be reversed no matter how complicated. You just need some computing power.
I quote from the origina article:
"The currently used DES encryption method, which is now being replaced by AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), was once thought unbreakable and can now be cracked in a matter of minutes to hours," said Robert Kauffman, who helped his son write parts of the computer program. "The AES also can be cracked in theory. These algorithms have computational security, which means they can be broken if enough time and computer power are used. AES would take hundreds of years to break with today's supercomputers. Jason's cryptography has unconditional security and can be proven unbreakable. Supercomputers won't make any difference."
