" ... secret backdoors are mathematically incompatible with secure and strong encryption ..."

I agree but my maths is not up to producing a strict proof of this conjecture. Has there ever been an attempt to prove this conjecture? Was it successful?

I'll be somewhat gob-smacked if there is proof of the opposite - a crypto system can have a backdoor and be secure.
