A one-time pad is unbreakable.
Many cyphers are unbreakable when entropy of key > entropy of plaintext.
It doesn't take any fancy garbage to make something completely unbreakable even with infinite resources.
Example one-time pad:
Key is random 512 bits.
Plaintext is random 512 bits.
Cyphertext is Key xor Plaintext.

S(A xor B) is greater than or equal to both S(A), and S(B), where S(A) = entropy of A.
If S(Key) = 512 bits, therefor is totally random, the resultant entropy is 512 bits. This gives an attacker no information about the plaintext.

Sure, but the problem still remains how to securely transport the key to the end destination. That is why, up till now, one-time-pads have not been implemented in practical systems. This may change with quantum cryptography key distribution in the future.

Oh, yes, I know.
However, I was specifically responding to vid:

Wasn't there some sort of White House -> Moscow hot line that used OTP? Hmm... Break OTP and we learn all of the Cold War conspiracies!!!!!
