Actually, I think Adam is totally right.

Have you looked at their scheme?
  http://www.securescience.net/ciphers/csc2/
The way to come up with a cipher provably as secure as AES-128 is to use
AES-128 as part of your cipher -- but their scheme does not do anything
like that.

I am very skeptical about claims that they have a mathematical proof that
CS2-128 is as secure as AES-128.  I want to see the proof.
