Asymptotic Security Model

Definition

An Asymptotic Security Model assesses a cryptographic system’s security as computational power approaches infinite limits. It evaluates how a system’s resistance to attack scales with increasing adversary capabilities, focusing on the long-term viability of its defenses. This model is crucial for understanding the theoretical robustness of cryptographic protocols against future computational advancements. It helps in predicting whether a system remains secure even with hypothetical, unlimited computing power.
