Title:
On Security Preserving Reductions – Revised Terminology

Authors: Oded Goldreich

Abstract:

Many of the results in Modern Cryptography are actually
transformations of a basic computational phenomenon (i.e., a
basic primitive, tool or assumption) to a more complex
phenomenon (i.e., a higher level primitive or
application). The transformation is explicit and is always
accompanied by an explicit reduction of the violation of the
security of the former phenomenon to the violation of the
latter. A key aspect is the efficiency of the reduction. We
discuss and slightly modify the hierarchy of reductions
originally suggested by Levin.
