[Cryptography] AES Broken?

[Matej Grabovsky]

Hi.

This seems to be a contestant in the Snake Oil Crypto contest.

I love the last paragraph:

> However, the use of complex numbers should rule out any real or rational
> quantum attacks.

Is this guy blowing smoke, or did he find a real attack on AES?

The fact that he proposes a self-invented cipher in the same paper
makes me very suspicious that his attack on AES is imaginary.  It
matches too much past 'crackpot' behavior.
