Provable Security

Definition

Provable Security refers to cryptographic systems whose security can be mathematically demonstrated under specific assumptions. This concept means that the security of a cryptographic scheme is reduced to the hardness of a well-known computational problem, such as integer factorization or discrete logarithms. It provides a rigorous, mathematical assurance that the system is secure against all adversaries with limited computational resources. Such proofs are crucial for establishing confidence in the integrity and confidentiality of digital protocols.
