Standard Model Proof

Definition

Standard Model Proof, in the context of cryptography, refers to a security proof that relies on the assumption that the underlying cryptographic primitives are secure in a standard, well-defined mathematical model. This means the proof does not depend on idealized assumptions or heuristic arguments. Such proofs provide a high level of assurance regarding the security of a cryptographic scheme. It is a rigorous demonstration of security within established cryptographic assumptions.
