Title:
Another Look at ``Provable Security’’
Authors: Neal Koblitz, Alfred Menezes
Abstract:We give an informal analysis and critique of several typical
provable security'' results. In some cases there are intuitive but convincing arguments for rejecting the conclusions suggested by the formal terminology and proofs,‘’ whereas
in other cases the formalism seems to be consistent with common
sense. We discuss the reasons why the search for mathematically
convincing theoretical evidence to support the security of
public-key systems has been an important theme of
researchers. But we argue that the theorem-proof paradigm
of theoretical mathematics is of limited relevance here
and often leads to papers that are confusing and misleading.
Because our paper is aimed at the general mathematical public,
it is self-contained and as jargon-free as possible.
